Something to ponder: should chess variants that never can have a game end in a draw actually displease purists?[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Indeed, stalemate = win is a natural rule. In games with piece drops stalemates only occur when one player is almost out of pieces, where it would also be very easy to checkmate.

Trying to force a decision in a King-vs-King end-game seems very artificial, though.
