Hi mrdave9, According to the official Checkers rules, a game is declared a draw if there is no capture or promotion to king for 40 consecutive pairs of moves. There is also an automatic draw if no winner has emerged after 200 moves (100 each). You can find the full rules here:

Hi mrdave9, I am not aware of any recent change to the automatic‑draw rules. Perhaps a developer or administrator could clarify this at some point if there has indeed been an update. Until then, I can only refer to the rules as they are currently published.

The forum is monitored by FlyOrDie, so your message is already in the right place. If anything needs clarification, the developers or administrators will address it at a time they find suitable.
The number of moves before declaring a draw has been increased (from 100/40 to 150/50). The rules have just been updated to reflect these changes.
Please note that the second limit has only been increased by 10. This is the one indicating that the game is not progressing toward a conclusion. The first limit was raised to allow the second limit to be triggered.
