Here is an interesting theoretical question:
Knowing that if a player can't move or forces their opponent down to a single piece loses, I was thinking that a draw could still be possible.
The idea is that there may be some positions where both players are close to winning. Supposing that at each turn the players find themselves in a situation where only a single avoids them to lose and simultaneously forces the opponent in a similar situation. If the initial position is repeated, this would lead to a infinite cycle of moves. And therefore no one would be able to force a victory.
To be clear this would be analogous to a chess position with white to move:
White's King is in e4, and they have two pawns in c4 and a4.
Black's King is in e6, and they have two pawns, opposing the white ones, in c5 and a5.
The only move that avoid losing is moving the white king to f4. The only move that allows black to not to lose now is King to f6, forcing white to play the King back to e4 and consequently forcing black to do the same playing King to e6. This would lead to an infinite loop, which in chess is stopped by the triple repetition rule that woukld end the game in a draw.
Therefore what would happen in Alveole in this case? But first is it even possible that such situation exists?
