King Left Is It 50 Moves?

When you have just your king left is it 50 moves then stale mate I know it is in real life but i dunno about on the internet if it was it would take a heck of a long time

Its all in the help files:

How do I claim a draw?

A draw can be claimed without any interaction from your opponent under a number of conditions. These are as follows:




No piece capture or pawn movement has occurred for over 50 consecutive moves (100 half moves). Therefore the game has not progressed and a draw may be claimed by either player during their next move.


Insufficient material remains on the board to finish the game. If only two kings remain then either player may claim a draw during their next move.


Third repetition of a position. If any identical position appears three times during a game, then the game can be claimed as a draw. Please note that each repetition must be identical with regards to en passant and castling availability. A draw can only be claimed along with a move that contributes to a repetition. Claiming after the repetition has occurred is not possible, unless the same position can be repeated again on a future move.

I dont get it

it means if no one moves a pawn or no one captures a piece within 50 moves, then you can claim a draw. yes it does take a long time online.

If you are talking about game Game 599299, then you can only offer you opponent a draw (which he never would have accepted) or resign by yourself.

The only think to force a draw in that game, would have been if you can force you opponent to make 3 times te same move.
