These rules achieve the goals set by this game's inventor, including a forced win for one side in every endgame - even KvsK, as Jianying Ji commented on Wed, May 28, 2008. I believe that Adrian King's Scirocco(1997/2001/2009) was the first attempt at eliminating draws on this website.
I offer an amusing example of a type of stalemate that George P. Jelliss calls a deadlock. Pasting 1. d3 g5 2. Bxg5 hxg5 3. Kd2 Rh4 4. h3 Rc4 5. Ke3 Rxc2 6. Kf3 Rxb2 7. Kg3 Rxa2 8. Na3 Rxa1 9. Kh2 g4 10. Nf3 g3 11. Kg1 f5 12. Rh2 f4 13. Kh1 Nf5 14. Ng1 Nh4 15. f3 Rxa3 16. Qc1 Rxd3 17.
