There IS 50 move rule
example of a game that never end under best play
( I just want to show that 50 move rule + threefold repitition do not work well in custom variants, but I have not thought of a better system to determine draws. )
rules: crazyhouse, any capture, game of points. 2 player game.
starting position: 2x2 board, white ferz on a1, b2, black ferz on a2, b1. No royal.
Other settings are the automatic ones.
Then the game will never end under best play.
That's true, and while things like differences of points could be counted into threefold there will still be positions like that, especially with more players.
