Competitions rules for Draughts - Quentin Cohen-Solal - 09-29-2023
Hello,
In official International Draughts competitions, end-of-game rules are generally applied to end a game that has a draw value more quickly (see Section "Winning and draws" of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_draughts) :
- If, during 25 moves, there were only king movements, without piece movements or jumps, the game is considered a draw.
- If there are only three kings, two kings and a piece, or a king and two pieces against a king, the game will be considered a draw after the two players have each played 16 turns.
This rule is particularly applied within the framework of the Computer Olympiad.
It would be very useful to add this rule as an option for International Draughts, Brazilian Draughts, and Canadian Draughts.
Thanks.
