Here is A special rule for resolving draws in Janggi ( Korean Chess ):
In tournaments where draws are not allowed, draws are resolved by adding up the points of their pieces that are still on the board.
Chariots: 13pts Cannons : 7pts Horses : 5pts
Elephants : 3pts Guards : 3pts Soldiers: 2pts
Because the player with the blue pieces (cho) starts, they have an advantage. To compensate for this, Red receives 1.5 points (called 'deom (덤)' in Korean), the half-point being to avoid ties. So when the game starts, Blue has 72 points and Red has 73.5 points. If neither side can force a win, the player with the most points is declared the winner.
