Seventy-Five-Move Rule

The Seventy-Five-Move Rule is a rule in chess that states if seventy-five consecutive moves have been made by both players without any pawn movement or capture, the game can be claimed as a draw by either player. This rule is intended to prevent a game from continuing indefinitely. The player must make this claim before making their 76th move, otherwise, the 75-move count resets and the game continues. The intention behind this rule is to avoid positions where a theoretical win might take more moves to achieve than this limit.
