I am new here, and not playing at my best.
But I was just in a game where I had a Rook, Queen, and my King. And the other player had only a King. Now I KNOW I should have check-mated sooner, but I was getting him in a corner and then....GAME DRAWN!
Is there a move limit on games once the other player is down to a king? I'm confused!

I completely forgot about stalemate. You are right. I thought I was winning the game by making him in a position where no matter where he went he was in check, but that's not good. I should have waited for the checkmate.
I really havn't played in a long time and it shows. haha...Thanks everyone for answering.
Just so I'm clear, there is not move limit on this site. It goes on until someone wins, resigns, or draws, is this correct?

And forgive my friends name, he's a bit immature. I'll never live down the fact that I couldn't beat him. This game is a bit embarrassing to watch as he and I both pretty much suck. If you guys need a laugh you should check it out!
