| Sep 11, 2012 at 7:53 | comment | added | Martin Thoma | @DavidEppstein: ah, sorry, I thought those rules forced termination. They do not as the FIDE rules (and wikipedia) state. See also math.stackexchange.com/q/194008/6876 for a related question. | |
| Sep 11, 2012 at 7:21 | comment | added | user4772 | @DavidEppstein: They do impose a maximum move limit. If 50 moves are made without any player moving a pawn or capturing a piece, the game automatically ends in a draw, even if the players would like to continue. (But of course, this doesn't affect your answer.) | |
| Sep 11, 2012 at 6:21 | comment | added | David Eppstein | Do those rules force termination of the game? Or do they merely give players an additonal option, of calling a draw rather than continuing to move? | |
| Sep 11, 2012 at 5:07 | comment | added | Martin Thoma | The tree of a chess game is finite - although it is unimaginable big - as a maximum number of moves exists (due to the fifty-move rule and threefold repetition). Thanks for your answer, you mentioned many ideas I didn't think of: +1 | |
