Stalemate:
If there is a stalemate, the game is a draw – at some point in the game, a side’s king is not at stake, but his side cannot make a move according to any rules, when such a situation occurs, it is called a stalemate. In this condition, the game is declared a draw.
3-fold repetition:
If the same position returns three times on the board (3-fold repetition), the game is a draw. Incidentally, if only one of the two players repeats the same move, there is less chance of repeating the position, usually, two players have to repeat the move for the position repeat. If there was no such rule, a player could draw at will against a better player by making the same move repeatedly.
50 moves draw rules:
The game is drawn after 50 moves if neither side is served with a boor move or a ghuti is not eaten. The situation seen in practice usually occurs late in the game. At the end, there are a few pieces left on the board. Sometimes there is no bode. If there is no bode on the board, naturally there is no possibility of bode rice. For example, if your opponent has only kings and one Bishop instead of your king and one Rook, you get 50 moves to deal with the opponent.
Perpetual check:
If a player can give his opponent a perpetual check but is unable to check, the game is a draw, as the second player is unable to free himself from the check.
Black to move here. Black can draw the game by repeated instalments to White. Try to solve how to do it.
In the picture above, White will pay Black with a single move along the yellow arrow on the next move. And Black has no defence against this. But now it’s black’s turn. White can play the king with indefinite instalments with Black’s minister, White has no escape from this. So White has to be satisfied with a draw in an almost-won game.
Agree to drawn:
At any point in the game, two players can agree to draw the game. (draw agreement) In this case, too the game is drawn. Big players usually agree to a draw late in the game, when nobody has much chance of winning. But for new players, I would advise them to play till the end of the game.
Insufficient material:
If at the end of the game, there are not enough pieces left on the board to checkmate the opponent’s king, the game is usually drawn. Here white has only a Knight with his King but this is not enough to checkmate to opponent’s king. So this game will be a draw.
