[Retros] More fun with rules

[Joost de Heer]

Kevin,

All it takes is one claim, after that I have at least a draw: I make 
illegal moves until I either checkmate my opponent (win), until my 
opponent makes an illegal move himself (which I can claim, and the game 
is reinstated to the original source of the illegality, draw), or until 
my opponent claims a second illegality (see previous point, draw).
