Assunto: Dark Chess = draw?

In normal chess king+knight+knight VS king = draw, does this also apply to dark chess???

I'm playing a game at the moment with king+bishop VS king+pawn, is the game a draw when I take his pawn?! i.e. should I try to capture his king instead of the pawn or should I take the pawn and then go for the king?

does the 50 moves rule apply when all pawns are gone as in chess?

Regards

Assunto: Re: Dark Chess = draw?

mezzanine: There is no such concept in Dark Chess, since no matter what the makeup of the pieces, you can still win by capturing the king. Even K vs K is allowed.

Of course you can always agree to a draw, though this is more common when the pawns form a line that is impossible for either side to break without losing the exchange.
