What is the effect of a 'draw' with your opponent? I thought it would be both parties coming out unscathed, but my current opponent whos rating is about 300points better than mine reckons his rating will be dented.
Thanks for your help.

never mind, I found the answer.

Originally posted by tomakIt's fifty full moves by both players, with no lost pieces and no forward pawn movement.
