I may be stating the obvious, but only Kings is a draw. Otherwise, if there are no more possible exchanges on the board, the 50 move rule is applied.π

[b]I want to thank sintubin for analyzing Game number 219155 for me, very enlightening. I just had another one last night that I would love for someone to evaluate. This one, I actually won, but man! It was a positively butt-ugly endgame! I would love for someone to tell me when the first opportunity for a forced mate was. Any analysis will be greatly appreciated.

I started the endgame about 10 moves too early, and the endgame itself was hideous, but I did pull out a win. If I get some good analysis, I believe I can learn from it.

Also,in the future,try to not give away so many pieces π
Btw,why do you think you started the endgame 10 moves early?Is it possible to start the endgame too early??π
