This would be a great question to ask the FIDE:  Why is checkmate the only
win condition in Chess and all else are draws?

I'm sure that there was a great debate about this during the adoption of
the Mad Queen variant as their advocated game.  So there ought be a large
amount of data to back up these decisions.

(Or the decision could have been a form of simplication, one win condition
only and all else resulting in un-decided games.)
