[Retros] 50-moves draw

[Renny Bosch]

Can someone explain what is the difference between "the last 50 moves" and "the last 50 consecutive moves"?

What could possibly be meant by "the last 50 non-consecutive moves"?

As to your Article 12.2(b) challenge, I think that is delightful!

  Greetings:

  The FIDE 50-move rule follows.  No mention of castling.  


  Article 9.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, if he writes his move on his scoresheet, and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move which shall result in the last 50 moves having been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. 

  A new challenge to retro composers, prompted by Article 12.2(b): compose a position in which it can be determined that one player's cellphone rang during the game.  (This is now an automatic loss to the offending player!)

  Happy New Year!

  Gianni
