2.45% of my blitz games end in draws.

Playing a weak, non-standard opening is surely not the only way to get interesting games, but it's reliable and easy for someone of my skill level (around 1850 on blitz.chessbase.com). It's much more reliable than playing any well-known gambit, for example.

This article starts off with an appreciation of the King's Gambit. However, there are many known lines which counter the King's gambit and bring it back into a boring, drawish middle game.

Chess is unfortunately a game that rewards people who play to avoid losing rather than play to win.
