Support new automatic draw rules
Last modified: 2017-01-22 21:07:22 UTC
Thanks to Wikipedia I found that FIDE changed the rules for draws slightly, to add automatic draws without need for a player to claim draws in pedantic situations. See http://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=171 9.6 If one or both of the following occur(s) then the game is drawn: * the same position has appeared, as in 9.2b, for at least five consecutive alternate moves by each player. * any consecutive series of 75 moves have been completed by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. If the last move resulted in checkmate, that shall take precedence. Let's implement this.
Created attachment 327317 [details] [review] Support new fivefold repetition and 75 move draw conditions On July 1, 2014 the FIDE Laws of Chess were updated to add two new automatic draw conditions. These are the same as the threefold repetition and 50 move rules, except they take effect automatically rather than optionally. http://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=171&view=article
Attachment 327317 [details] pushed as 19a65b0 - Support new fivefold repetition and 75 move draw conditions
This patch breaks the string freeze. I hope you could make a gnome-3-22 branch.
Whoops, done.
Thank you!
