I don't know whether I prefer the "40 moves max before a draw" to the previous one. But, I have an idea for a compromise...
Most draws end this way due to the game being stuck. But, sometimes there are still options by the end of the game, however they end in draws regardless, due to the lack of moves left. My idea, is to be able to extend the game by for instance 40 moves more, if both players agrees to it.
This way, the players themselves decide internally during the games what they want to do, without being forced to do anything specific. It's a win-win for everyone.
