Did you try to play chess on any online server? ICC, FICS, you-name-it-cc, they
all do it 'incorrectly' according to you. Yet it works and all GMs playing on
icc have no trouble adjusting to online rules, because they are more practical.

Actually FICS implements draw claims without moving (yopu can type "draw
<move>") but noone does that.
