50 moves rule Posted by iuiuiuidjkkjkk Jan 23 2006 4:36PM Hello! I have a question concerning the rule that after 50 moves without any exchange of figures, the game is a draw. - Is it possible to program this rule here on gamecolony? Or is it no official chess rule. I just had again the (unfair) case that i had to make 100 moves in a 5 minute game with a 100% draw position (absoluteley no way to win), cause my opponent played on time. Thats quite an annoying game - luckily it is rare that players do it. Still, the program doesnt recognize the 50 moves rule. Thanks for help! Albrecht 50 moves rule Posted by webmaster Jan 24 2006 7:53AM The following standard draw rules are implemented (independent of time expiration)<br><br>(1) insufficient mating material<br><br>(2) 3-time position repetition during the last 10 moves (on opponent request<br>only - by pressing the 'Draw' button. No acknowledgement from opponents will be necessary in this case - a Draw will be awarded automatically)<br><br>(3)stalemate<br><br>Although a 50-move rule is also an international rule, it is not implemented at GameColony because:<br> -- it is relatively rare<br> -- it can be often replaced by position repetition rule (2)<br> 50 move rule Posted by loat Jan 25 2006 1:29PM If this rule is easy to implement, it would be good. I lost in similar circumstances once, much to my surprise, because once we reached the 50 moves, I was expecting the draw to be awarded. This rule...

And besides, if you do go 50 moves with out taking a piece then you probably wouldnt ever finish the game anyway. |
