A 25 move rule would be more approriated indeed as the 50 move rule. 50 moves is just too long knowing that it just causes forfeits at the internet online chess player. Other uses the 50 move rule doesn't really have. Shortly FIDE had extended it to 75 moves, but that was changed back soon afterwards to 50 moves again. I doubt they will ever change it. If they change it, it will be 25 moves sooner than 75 moves. I'm 100% convinced on that. Best regards, Vincent
