Originally posted by rob gatesif there are no pawns on the board, and no pieces captures, then you have 50 full moves (100 half moves)..
Is there a number of moves that I have to get the opponent in checkmate when they have only there king left. Would love to know !!
Regards Rob Gates
if there are pawns.. the count restarts everytime a pawn moves forward, or a piece is captured.

I had a quick look at your games: asking for advice on games in progess is out of order (Game 1511840). Even in a matter as "objective" as what the rules are, our answers will affect your play.
You can use a number of on or off line resources, as long as they are non-move calculating. www.fide.com has the rules of chess. There are many sites with databases, and you can find tutorials on openings and endgames by typing what you want into a web search engine.

So.... A draw can be claimed after 50 moves without a pawn move or peice capture. A draw can also be claimed by the three move repetition rule; meaning that if exact same position occurs three (or more) times in a game then a player can claim a draw, but only on the move that has the repetition in it.

However, asking about the rules without stopping the clock is acceptable. That seems closest to the situation here.
