Rules of the game:
1) Situations in which a draw is fixed:
- stalemate (if one of the opponents cannot make any move, but there is no checkmate on the board)
- three-fold repetition of the position
- 50 moves without taking and pawn movement
- lack of figures

2) Castling is allowed if:
- neither the king nor the rook have made moves yet
- there are no other pieces between the king and the rook
- the king is not under the check
- the king will not pass through the fields under the shah and will not stop in such a field
