RK 20 => 10
ZH/KOTH 25 => 20

Some members of the RK community have pointed out that 20 is still way too high. Checking some stats again, the vast majority (~90%) of RK games and draws are shorter than 20 moves. Looks like originally, 15 was the suggested value but then it got bumped to 20 for consistency.

The ZH and KOTH adjustment is mostly for increased consistency. But checking some games, they do seem to have legitimate draws in that move range and are ofc generally shorter than standard games.
