You did. Don't you remember?
The evolution was nigh.
No I didn't lol, I just said the proof games should always end in black making the last move so that it's a full number of moves.

But if that became a requirement, it would be a very weird change.
To be more accurate, there is a person who wants full moves.

I find Endgame's logic funny since the following are apparently against the rules:
- Any games that end with black resigning.
- Any endgame studies that end with a white move (most studies.)
- Any game where white checkmates black.

What is "Endgame"? What is this discussion about? Which post?

Resigning is technically a move by black, so I'm fine.
Actually with studies I prefer they begin with white to move, just as white begins an actual chess game, so therefore I prefer they also end with white to move. Any study that starts with black to move, the position can be inverted where white has the pieces.
Resignation is not a move. It's a action outside of the possibilities on the board itself. The starting position has 20 moves, not 21.
I still have no clue what "Endgame" refers to - probably not "endgames". But I know that "resigning" is commonly unacceptable in compositions. Otherwise black could e.g. destroy all selfmate compositions by resigning on move 1 of the intended solution. The composition field does better with only automaticities and no interventions by arbiters or player claims.
