whats the consensus on mid late stage game repetitive back and forward moves that put a king into check and then again and again and again.
How quickly do people reach for a draw, and do you feel peeved if you think you've got an advantage but just arent able to flex it due to unnecessary Queen on King harassment.

To force a draw when under in material or position? Yes, I'm all for it.

Originally posted by chopchopif you can force a 3-move repetition draw or a 50-move draw in an otherwise lost position, it's your right and duty as a chessplayer to punish your opponent for such a horrible mistake. he lost the win because of his mistake, you're just making the best move.
Fair enough, I guess I come from a different school of thought, but obviously the prevailing mood is that a draw is a legitimate tactic anytime anywhere.
I have been edumecated.
