The Draw-Free Tag
Description
These chess variants cannot end in a draw. A game is guaranteed to end after a finite number of moves with the victory of one of the players.
In case of a multiplayer variant, there always is an unambiguous winner (or winning team in case of a multiplayer team variant).
