Why can't we agree to a draw, like in chess?

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

A draw by repeating is not an agreement :)

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

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.

This is wrong. The rules of chess do not allow the game to continue indefinitely. But there is still an AGREEMENT for a draw.

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.

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