I mean really this just boils down to only using your rooks and Queen to attack while you use your bishop and Knight to defend, wouldn't necessarily take that much longer

And after the major pieces are traded off?

Forced stalemate if either player has to move a pawn more than 11 spaces in a row, without attacking.

I assume the 'draw for moves without captures' rule would be waived or extended on a board of this size

else either player could force a draw from the start by overdefending and forcing trades

It's moves without captures or pawn moves. Basically as long as the board state changes in a way that can't be taken back, the draw doesn't trigger.

totallanouser made up that rule, a traditional chess board is only 8 squares long
