Chess was orginally designed for humans and for humans, the 50 move rule is
adequate.  I would oppose any changes to the rules of chess becuase of computers
and endgame tablebases .  If  a human or machine cannot mate in 50 in conjuntion
with the other requirements, I think the game should be considered a draw.  I
think it is a great rule.

Just my $.02, ymmv and you may disagree with me.
