Note: If a game reaches 300 moves and no checkmate is delivered on move 300, it is adjudicated as a draw and shows up in the logs as _draw by agreement_ (see [this discussion](https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/lichess-300-move-rule-forced-draw) and [this commit](https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/commit/f8921999115878a98431cd722b267281793b7f6f)). That's a lichess-specific behavior which doesn't depend on lichess-bot version or configuration.
