| | Draw (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In chess, a draw is one of the possible outcomes of a game (the others being a win for white and a win for black). |  | | In games played at the top level, a draw is the most common outcome of a game: of around 22,000 games published in The Week In Chess played between 1999 and 2002 by players with a FIDE Elo rating of 2500 or above, 55% were draws. |  | | Mutual agreement - a player may offer a draw to his opponent at any stage of a game; if the opponent accepts, the game is a draw. |

| | Stalemate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In chess, stalemate is a situation whereby one player has no legal moves but is not in check. |  | | In the forerunners to modern chess, such as shatranj, stalemate was a win for the side administering it, and this rule persisted for a while in chess, although when playing for money, a win by stalemate sometimes only won half the stake. |  | | Murray's A History of Chess (Oxford University Press, 1913), the rule for a time in England was that stalemate was a loss for the player administering it. |

 | | Certainly chess players may be deprived of the opportunity to watch or play through a game in one round, but the option still exists to watch or play through the games from all of the other rounds. |  | | The game between Yudasin and Ehlvest serves as a classic example of a “grandmaster draw,” and chess players have long bemoaned their use in tournament play. |  | | While chess is not normally considered a spectator sport, the exact sequence of moves of a game can be reenacted at a later point in time, and quick draws do not allow for this opportunity. |

 | | The are a number of ways in which a chess game between two players can be won. |  | | The player with the Rook was visibly upset that the other player wouldn't agree to a draw. |  | | The various ways to lose a chess game (e.g., being checkmated, resigning, forfeiting on time, cheating) are simply the reverse of how one can win. |

| | Chess Applet - Homeostatic Computer Chess Player Applet |
 | | The average branching factor of the chess game tree is about 34 for the whole game, and about 40 between 10 and 30 moves. |  | | The game of go, however, is even "more intractable" than chess, and it will be many years before computers will be able to beat the best human players at go. |  | | The applet does not enforce "touch move." Official chess rules require that a player move the first piece he touches (except for piece adjustment, which does not apply here). |

 | | Draws are a natural part of our game, and to play for a win in many positions is stupid if not suicidal. |  | | In the latter, after having captured the imagination of millions of chess playing fans and the general public, the players stunned everyone by agreeing to a draw in a position where the tension was reaching its peak. |  | | Today’s teenage chess players would think you insane if you told them that Botvinnik used to be able to stop a game in progress, go have his assistants analyze the position for several hours, and come back with analysis that had been polished and spit-shined for him. |

 | | Draw poker is the general name for any variant in which each player is dealt a complete hand before the first betting round, and then develops the hand for later rounds by replacing cards. |  | | One is said to be drawing in a poker game if one has a hand that is incomplete and needs further cards to become valuable. |  | | In American football, a draw play is one that "tricks" the defense into thinking a pass is being thrown, when in fact a running play has been called. |

 | | It is pointless to blame chess players for such draws they act according to their interest, accepted rules and ethics. |  | | If all games are played to the bitter end, then prearranged draws will be also seen as unethical, much as game throwing’ is today. |  | | The game could still end in a draw by stalemate, three-times repetition, lack of winning material or according to the 50-move rule. |

 | | In chess, a draw means that you neither win nor lose your game; it is a tie. |  | | This is the same as giving the move and "draw" as separate commands, except it ensures that your opponent doesn't have a chance to move out of the drawn position before you claim it. |  | | If your opponent has offered you a draw by agreement, the draw command accepts the draw and the game ends immediately. |
