Re: Why
A draw by repeating and a draw agreement are two different rules.

Re: Why
A draw by repeating is not an agreement

Re: Why
Люди, объясните ему, что я говорю о соглашении на ничью, а не о ничьей повторением позиции))

Re: Why
You say that they are 2 different things. But a draw by repetition does not exist. A thing needs to exist before you need to consider it.
There is no need to agree to a draw because the game can always be played to it's conclusion, even if that it concludes in a draw.
In chess you need a draw button because the game has positions that can infinitely repeat.

Re: Why
This is wrong. The rules of chess do not allow the game to continue indefinitely. But there is still an AGREEMENT for a draw.RicardoRix wrote: ↑14 March 2022, 20:04 You say that they are 2 different things. But a draw by repetition does not exist.

A draw agreement is needed when the opponents have already realised that the game will end in a draw. It's silly to make extra moves when everything is already clear. Or when the opponents don't want to take any chances.

Re: Why
In chess, the "50-move rule" stops the endless game
