Incidentally, draw by agreeement IS illegal in shogi,
but they have the same draw by repetition rule,
or something cloe enough.
Yet this kind of intentional repetition never occurs.
It's unthinkable to them.

All chess pieces except the pawns can retrace their steps: fewer of the
shogi pieces can retrace their steps, which drastically cuts the probability
of players who are making the best moves ending up in a repetition rut.
