Suggestion: Antichess 30-move rule

30 move rule would nice in antichess because it makes game take a little bit less time and in drawn positions you can take more time to think about position.

How about my suggestion:Any position with 1 white king and 1 black king equals a draw.Lichess should automatically detect these positions as well as they do with opposite color bishops.How do you think?

KvsK is not a draw in time pressure. If you have spent all your time just to reach a KvK you shouldn't be allowed to get away with a draw. If you have enough time on the clock to make correct moves, then it's a draw.

Well did the players offer a draw?

In my opinion, most of the richness of antichess is in the endgame. Please don't invent a rule. Instead, increment should be encouraged.

In a King vs King endgame there's still margin for error, so it should be possible to play it, as it's possible to continue to play in standard chess when there's a possibility of losing. I say this as a slow, flag-dropper guy.

Btw, I thought there was a 50-move rule already?

# 11 any position with 1 white king and 1 black king is not a draw... such as saving the king to be taken last in a line of things, if my king could be taken on the last move by the enemy king.

I think a 30 or 30+ move rule could would still keep the same chicken like tactics as #6 pointed out

@Karagialis slow??Look at your bullet rating.It is 2000.Nice joke about that you are slow.I am even slower then :)

well, what can I say? I consider myself slow. Pay attention to my rapid rating too:)

#13 Hm, perhaps the better solution would be to improve the draw offer/accept feature. I'll give that a try when I have both the time & energy to focus on such a coding challenge.

Absolutely not.

Correct movesets are over the vast majority of the time in less than 20 moves.

However, upon both players playing weird nonsense moves (most commonly seen in the 0+1 games) games can easily surpass 40 moves without getting to 'draw moves'

In fact, I'd argue that there are just as many 40+ move games between high rating player than there are <30 move games. Its not often a 'good player' does normal answers to common white opening movesets (ie e3 c4 etc), and against another 2k+ rating this often in return provokes a non-sequitur response.
This leads to very interesting games; that were blunder filled nightmares but never enter 'draw territory'

Antichess already has repetition draw; where if both players make a 'non move' X# of times in a row; it is a draw.
Thats good enough.

Long story short; no because a 30 move rule would get rid of the truly comical games.

Hows this for an example roflmao. Me and QoB.
63 moves. You saying this should of drawn at 30...LOL...look at where it was at 30. Due to ridiculous beginning movesets it was anybodys game at the 30 move mark.

And again below that is me and Townes at 59 moves.

If aint broke dont fix it :)

I think you didnt think this through :o
532 games of yours are more than 30 moves. Thats over 1/4 of your total games played.
So 25% of your games should of been a draw? Ya no :o

@DollaHollaAtcha By 30 moves he means 30 moves without movement of pawn or capture.
