Why it is drawn this way

The rule is named. The current app shows "Game Over!" for both draw rules and never says why the game stopped.

One screen serves both rules. The headline is Draw; the second line is the rule — "Fifty-move rule" or "Not enough pieces". The drawn one is the fifty-move rule.

Only the rules the engine has. src/lib/game.ts knows the fifty-move rule and bare kings with at most one minor piece. It does not know threefold repetition, so this screen does not offer it. See rules.
