    There is no rule about perpetual check. There is the 3 position repetition rule which basically says that if a position occurs 3 times (exactly the same with castling rights, en passant possibilities and side to move the same) then either player may claim a draw. You do so by making the move that makes the 3rd repeat and claiming a draw or claiming a draw alone if the 3rd repeat is currently present.

    Sometimes with a perpetual check situation, the 50-move rule arises quicker than the 3-fold repitition.

    How many games have you finished with the 50 move rule? I never have on here or OTB.

    Perpetual check is never mentioned in the complete set of Chess rules.

    Repetition is.

    I don't think I ever have.

    I don't think I've won many by 3-fold repitition either.

    Most of the time, the opponent realises and accepts that it is a draw.

    All I'm saying is that sometimes (rarely, but sometimes), if an opponent refuses to accept a perpetual check, the 50-move rule will kick in before 3-fold repitition.

    No big deal really.

    And so is the 50 move rule.

    Of course you haven't. You can't win by 3-fold repetition. You draw.

    I've not drawn too many either.

    All I'm saying is that it is very rare to actually have to invoke these rules - usually both players know what is going on and agree the draw.

    Now stalemate, that is a different matter - there are lots of good examples of people saving an otherwise lost game thru stalemate combinations.

    Strange, though, that NAMTIH signs themselves Desert Rat. That's already the name of a different (?) user.
