DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

I remembered a recent incident in chess – Ivanchuk was playing against someone, and his opponent gradually outplayed him, started weaving a mating net around the king, and was about to deliver checkmate with the next move, but then Ivanchuk stopped the clock and asked the judge to declare a draw according to the 50-move rule. Is this an abuse of the rules? Undoubtedly. The 50-move rule was clearly not created for this purpose. However, no one disputed the legitimacy of the result, and no one suggested changing the rules of chess. Now, let's look at your own formulation – you are suggesting allowing an exception in the case of a castle siege. Like, legions of skeletons broke through the walls, entered the castle, destroyed everything, and killed everyone, and a lone fairy is flying around, which a skeleton can kill with one hit, and... the legion of skeletons is forced to retreat (!). I see a gross violation of the spirit of the game.
