In real life, chess is game played by humans and/or a sport with a certain set of rules. The ones that are out of real life are the tablebases (mate oriented) that just ignore the The Rules of Chess. Note that the Thompson EGTBs do not have this flaw. One of the wisest decisions by FIDE after that chaos generated by all sort of impractical exceptions.
