When standard chess becomes 8x10 or 10x10, the Draw problem should be revisited in advance. There are many other solutions than scoring tweak. How about one, where after 40 moves, players can mutually agree to the Counter-Draw phase. That could mean from move 41 on, any non-captured piece may be dropped from forward position to back rank vacancy, in lieu of a move. Or then after that, Draw phase II would promote Pawns remaining to Amazon for Move 51 on; and so on for other proposals that would be understandable to regular gms. The object is decisive game either 1-0 or 0-1. Edit Form You may not post a new comment, because ItemID Draw=win scoring does not match any item.
