Pocket Mutation Chess. Take one of your pieces off the board, maybe change it, keep it in reserve, and drop it on the board later. (8x8, Cells: 64) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Carlos, 

Yes and No.

FIDE Chess rules apply to Pocket Mutation Chessexcept where otherwise
stated.

Under current FIDE rules, perpetual check is not a draw in and of itself
(it once was), but if you are able to give perpetual check, you can always
force triple repetition or the 50-move rule, both of which are draws. 

Note that Pocket Mutation's 50-move rule is different from FIDE:
promotions and captures reset the move count, but Pawn moves do not.
