This shoots your entire argument right into the ground. 3-fold reptition and the
50 move rule ARE part of chess. Just because "they seem artificial" to you has
no bearing on the fact that they are included in the rules of chess. I can prove
a lot of things if I am allowed to assume whatever I want.
