Game 161025
Could someone help me out here please?
I believe neither my opponent nor I have sufficient material left to force checkmate, and therefore the game is drawn. However, I keep claiming the draw but nothing happens to end the game, my opponent just keeps on playing, so where do we go from here?
Am I correct in thinking that a lone knight and king cannot force mate? I don't believe I am asking for help with a game in progress as I believe the game to already over...is this correct?
Many thanks to all who graciously respond.

...Sorry! This is the link for the above posting!
2 options:
One tell him is a draw and if he accepts then fine
Second one, continue playing pointless and after 50 moves you can claim a draw by the 50 move rule since there are no pawns left. I believe there is a posted number under the timebank. X number of moves since pawn move or capture.
Or you could also capture his knight if he left you 🙂

So, yes, the game is drawn...why it is not recognized is a mystery

Funny! I'm amazed that the other player has such a high rating, he surely should know that the game's a draw.
Think about it.....
You countine play and wait for rep or 50 moves.....meanwhile you could actually win the game because of timebank....
perhaps they are trying to conserve the rating points.

Originally posted by StivesYes mate is impossible if the superior side has only a King and a minor piece (Bishop or Knight). Even if the inferior side's K is in a corner the superior side's K can only cover two of the necessary four squares, and the minor piece cannot cover the other two as they are different colours.
