What is a Chess Draw?
A Chess Draw is when a Chess game ends in a tie. In other words, neither player wins. There are different
ways a Chess game can end in a Draw. Here are how Chess games can end in Draw:
Stalemate: If a player is not in check, but the only move the player can make would be to put
himself in check, then it is a Stalemate - and thus a Draw.
Threefold repetition: If the same position on a Chess board is repeated three times, then either
one of the players can call a Draw. (It is optional to call a Draw in this case.)
Fifty-move rule: If each player moves 50 times without moving a Pawn nor capturing a piece,
then either player can call a Draw. (It is optional to call a Draw in this case.)
Time's up: If both players have exceeded their allotted time in a timed game, then it is a Draw.
Agreement: If neither party feels they can win, they can agree to end the game in a Draw.
