There is absolutely no way to make progress or force that, insane.
true, but FIDE rules only require a draw if there is NO sequence of moves that leads to mate, no matter how poor the defense. in practice, of course, players will agree to a draw if checkmate is possible, but can't be forced, clock permitting.
