Has anyone seen this YouTube video about infinite chess? It's interesting but it makes a jump to situations that are very unusual compared to classical chess (beyond the board being unbounded). It doesn't really explore symmetrical starting positions (as normal chess is), and even worse it assumes the game has no draws. It's easy to miss the assumption "playing with some rules that exclude ties" at about 1:00 into the video.

If anyone else has comments about this video, but don't want to mix it in with the spam at YouTube (i.e. commentary from non-chess players/non-mathematicians), feel free to comment here.
