It’s a draw if no piece has been captured or if no pawn has been moved. There were pawn moves, however. Therefore, the 50 move rule doesn’t apply here, it’s not a draw!

Yes.

Pawn moves and captures: 49. a6 83. a7 125. h5+ 132. b8=Q 136. h6 137. g7 140. g8=Q 141. h7 142. h8=Q 143. a8=B+ Kxf4 144....Kxg3 146... Kxg3 147. e6 148.... Kxg5 153. e7
156... Kxg7
A draw per the 50-moves rule never could be claimed.
Laws of Chess:
"9.3
The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by a player having the move, if:
9.3.1
he indicates his move, by writing on the paper scoresheet or entering move on the electronic scoresheet cannot be changed, on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move which will result in the last 50 moves by each player having been made without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or
9.3.2
the last 50 moves by each player have been completed without the movement of any pawn and without any capture."

I just played a game where my opponent messed around with me by shuffling pieces around until he checkmated me in 175 moves! There was a point where I had played more than fifty moves without capturing any pieces, isn't that supposed to be a draw? Look from move 38, or go to my account and find it there
