Yes, they exist, though in ancient times it was 70 move draw, not 50.
Well, since a knight and a king can't checkmate; wouldn't it eventually become a draw by the 70-move, repetition or that the king graps the knight?

This is not like modern Chess, here a knight is one of the strongest pieces on the board, it is huge to declare the game drawn when one is a full horse ahead.

But it dosent matter if you have a knight if you cant checkmate right? I am new to chaturanga but eventually you would get to the 50-move rule or something like that. You could never win and it would always end in an infinete perfect game or a draw.
In Chaturanga you can win by taking all opponent pieces, no need to checkmate, it is called 'bare king rule'. Therefore K+N vs K is an immediate win.
The issue was solved. Now it works finely.
