If the game goes 50 moves without captures or pawn moves, its a draw

Seems useless but at least I got a achievement for 100 moves

Haha :D The point is that the game should always have either player make progress. If the 50 move rule move happens the game was likely not going to be ending in a win for either player anyways.

The 50-move rule states that if no pawn move or capture has been made in the last 50 moves by each player, either player can claim a draw to prevent the game from continuing indefinitely without progress.
