You are mixing up "rules" with "regulations". The rules determine set of legal moves on a given position and tell when the games end and how to score it. They are an abstraction which has nothing to do with the means used to conduct the game. The regulations tell how the game is actually played. They specify the size of the board and the pieces, what to do when a player shows up late for the game, where to place the scoresheet, etc. The 50-move rule is actually a rule. If you change the rules, you change the game (FIDE has done this a few times). The regulations change very often, but they do not change the game. José.
