This game shows drawn. It also shows stale mate. I did not agree to a draw however is this some rule or something? I know there is some type of 50 move rule or something but I thought I would have checkmate on my next move. I know I'm a patzer at chess but thanks in advance for the answer.

The game is a draw because of stalemate. White has to make a move, and white is not allowed to move into check, legally. That is why it is a draw. White has no move and can not pass his turn. 🙂

Thanks I was reading up in the FAQ and it also explains the answer. That was a long game. 🙂

The stalemate can be very tricky. Sometimes a player will intentionally run him self out of moves to get the draw. Here is a position where white forced a draw by stalemate.



White plays Qf2+ and after Qxf2 it is a draw!!!

Naturally, they get more and more complicated. I remember a grandmaster game where Larry Evans (I believe) was in big trouble. He stalemated his king and then chased the black king around the board with a rook. Black couldn't take it or it would have been stalemate, so he got something like a perpetual check. Even GM's get stalemated!!! You learned something new and that's the important thing. 🙂 Handshake

If black takes the rook it's stalemate. If he goes to h8, the rook goes to h7. If he goes to f8, the rook goes to f7. The checks keep coming until the rook is captured. 🙂

I really really have to ask this question. how can you not know the rule about stalemate after 1735 games you have played here?

If the situation never arose before then I suppose it's plausible.

I cannot understand how you can have over 1,700 under your belt
and not get better. (Not meant as dig mate).
Perhaps he moves too fast or is playing far to many games
and not giving each game the time they need.

The game in question Game 5280169 is the stalemate.
Black misses a few mates in two and a mate in one all before move 20.

Check all checks. It maybe mate!

(It's is better have checked and lost than never to have checked at all).

I think you guys are right 1700 games. LOL 🙂 I think I need to slow down it's hard. I would like to study the game and play OTB with people better than myself. I work a bunch of hours at my job and don't have huge amounts of time. I've just enjoyed playing but I honestly never came across that situation before.The stalemate. I know what perpetual check is. (actually on reason I joined your clan is to learn more.) I don't mind constructive criticism and advice.


Thanks

Manny

America's Most Wanted?

He looks like he should be a Batman villain. Any ideas for a suitable name?
