The FMJD rules for International Drafts have multiple draw rules.
- yes during 25 Successive moves by each player, only the kings have moved, without any man moving or without any capture, the game is considered tied.
- If there are only three kings left, two kings plus one man, one king and two men, against one king, both players may play another 16 moves to the maximum. When during these 16 moves a piece is taken, the maximum of 16 moves remains valid. If the player with the king occupies only the large diagonal, both players may play another 5 moves to the maximum.
- The end of the game with two kings, a king and a queen, or a king against a king, will be considered a draw when the players have made a maximum of five other moves each. After these 5 moves the game will be considered a tie.
Let’s say we have entered a position with three kings for white and one king for black, white can move. A 16-move tie counter begins to run. On Black’s 13th move, Black captures one of the white kings. Now, according to the third rule, a 5-move tie counter starts working, but what happens to the existing 16-move tie counter, which only has 3 moves left? Does the game end in a tie in 3 or 5 moves?
Note: Tapas Allows you to perform 5 movements. Post PDN if anyone wants to check it out.
