Subject: 50 Move Rule

  I always understood that it was 50 half moves, but someone has recently
claimed that it is 50 full moves...

Article 10.12:

"The game is drawn when a player having the move claims a draw and demonstrates
that at least the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each side without
the capture of any piece and without the movement of any pawn."

This is a little ambiguous I think...

Which is it?
