[Retros] 50-moves draw

[Gianchess at aol.com]

Greetings:

The FIDE 50-move rule follows.  No mention of castling.  

Article 9.3     The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having 
the move, if he writes his move on his scoresheet, and declares to the arbiter 
his intention to make this move which shall result in the last 50 moves 
having been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any 
capture, or the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without 
the movement of any pawn and without any capture. 

A new challenge to retro composers, prompted by Article 12.2(b): compose a 
position in which it can be determined that one player's cellphone rang during 
the game.  (This is now an automatic loss to the offending player!)

Happy New Year!

Gianni
