Should the amount of moves one has to capture an opposing 'Bare King' before a draw rely on the total point value of their remaining pieces? (excluding in circumstances where those pieces cannot checkmate ie. a knight, and or a bishop) In this case, a queen would reduce the amount of moves one can make before they checkmate the opposing player, or the game ends in a draw, by an amount proportional to their strategic/point value. A pawn would still reset the move limit unless said player with the pawn has sufficient pieces to end the game without moving them.
