That would be pretty lame of whoever is operating Junior IMO. In that case they
should see that there is no progress for many moves, that pieces are just being
shuffled back and forth, and they should offer a draw, or accept the draw when
Kasparov offers. There is no need for such a rule. It only allows Kasparov to
think, "I am in a really bad position here...maybe if I trade off two more
pieces for each side Junior will hit a 6-man ending and find some long forced
draw..."
