Is it wrong to used this tactic to claim a draw in a game I’m destined to lose?
@drewnogal saidIf you can achieve it you are not destined to lose. So: Go for it!

@ponderable saidSeems a bit of a dirty trick but .... ha! , something you learn to recognise once a player has done it to you 🙂

@drewnogal saidWell if I have a won game I should be able to perform the win. If I do repaet the Position it is a sign that I have no idea how to win the game. (I did draw games a skilled Player would have won)

@drewnogal saidNo, so do it!

@drewnogal saidAbsolutely not..

@drewnogal saidIf one fails to protect their own King from endless checks, they can't really say they've won.

@drewnogal saidIt is as dirty a trick as castling and en passant!

@bigdoggproblem saidSecond that. It's within the rules. A loss (personally) is to be avoided. If you can't see progress, call it a day.
If one fails to protect their own King from endless checks, they can't really say they've won.
Basically, I agree with all the other posters. Bailing out of a bad position with perpetual check is a known and accepted tactic in chess. There is nothing "dirty" about it.
@drewnogal saidIt’s one of the parameters of the game and you are completely within the ethics of play to utilise it as a tactic to claim a draw.

@wolfgang59 saidWhen I learned how to play chess I wasn't told of this special move, en passant, at first. When it actually was used in a game, I screamed foul play at my opponent (my younger sister) and ran to my mother and cried my eyes out. Till this day this story is shared at family meetings. My sister still easily beats me at chess.

@drewnogal saidNot a dirty trick. The Swindle is an Art Form.

@bigdoggproblem saidI should have read this before posting. BDP always beats me to the punch!
