Hey Rookayah!

There is no 21 move rule for a win, but there IS a 50 move rule and a 3 move repetition rule for a draw.  Here is how they work:

50 move rule
---
If 50 moves are made by both sides without a pawn move or capture, then one of the players can claim a draw.

3 move repetition
---
If the same position is repeated throughout the entirety of the game three times, then one of the players can claim a draw.

I can't recall any other rules involving the number of moves.  I hope this helps.

Best,
Nick
