Makruk variant.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating] 💡📝Henk Drost wrote on Sun, Apr 11, 2021 07:11 PM UTC in reply to Jean-Louis Cazaux from 06:26 PM:I first learned about "Makpong" on Github from this pull request: https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/pull/626 The only real problem I have with this is that it still has the counting rule from Makruk. It's a little confusing and I can't describe it very well so I hope this wiki article describes it well enough for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makruk With my proposed simplification the counting rule gets removed. The 50 move rule and 3-fold repetition we all know and love takes its place instead.
