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

I can't think of a game where that happens.

It would be a consequence of forbidding repetition (or declaring it a loss, which is equivalent), as a means to eliminate draws, in combination with stalemating being a win. And I just made a Diagram for a variant that presents decisive K-vs-K end-games as a feature, and made it quicker by adopting a King-facing ban (Nacht Schach).
