intentional draw opening

question. anyone know of an opening that leads to a very strong chance of a forced draw by three repetition. 

lets say i am playing an OTB tournament game vs. an opponent 400+ rating points higher than me. my chances of winnng are small to begin with. it may make sense for me to try to draw intentionally versus play for a win, if playing for the draw increases my chances of getting the draw. 

i can imaging an opening where maybe both sides appear to be playing normal moves, but suddenly I sacrifice a couple of minor pieces, but I force a draw by 3 fold. anyone know of any systems/structures/traps like this i can study?  it seems some opening would lend itself to this more than others. 

There is no such thing.

If there was such a thing , every lower rated would play it against  higher rated and get a draw without risk.

intentionally going for a short theoretical draw when you get the rare and highly instructional chance to play against a 400+ stronger player is the best way to ensure that in 5 years you will still be rated 400 points below him.

Luckily for you there are no openings lines which really allow you to force (or even just make very likely) a draw, so you will have to play a real game the next time you meet such an opponent. As a result you will learn a lot when analyzing the game, thus making the forst step towards reducing your 400-point elo gap.

It is absolutely stupid to play for a draw on move 1, especially with White.

That said, part of chess maturity is realizing when you won't win. Realizing when you won't win isn't based on rating. It is based on position. If you are in a Rook ending with a passive rook or a rook ending down a pawn, the first thing to realize is you won't win. If you switch mentality to where your goal is to draw, you will go a long way.

But to play for a draw on move 1, except maybe in the final round of a tournament where you have a perfect score, your opponent is a half point behind, and the 3rd player is a full point behind, only then is playing for a draw on move one appropriate.

Grob!!

There's a line in the Berlin Defense and a rare offbeat line in the Sicilian but even these aren't "forced" as one side can choose to play a slight inferior move that still gives them chances to outplay someone if there is a 400 point difference. Oddly enough the best bet has always been to play ultra aggressive and this to me is the real reason higher rated players are encouraged to keep things calm because once there king is bare even if they can navigate the waters of not losing perpetual check is there. Ive seen it happen so many times, playing to not lose AND not draw levels the field most times I feel when the gap is around 150 or so.
