Hello:
If each player has one rook and his king at the end, is it possible to mate or is that going to be a draw?
I imagine it depends how each player plays, but I don't really know. :(
It will be a draw unless and until one blunders his rook or trapped due to not playing positionally.
The same is true of each player having a king and a bishop, or each player having a king and a queen. Assuming the start position is balanced (that is, not leading to an iimediate mate) then it should be a draw.
Yes, this is a draw. Unless the position is something like one of these:
It is a draw, unless a blunder or bad position.
speaking from experience it will be a draw unless one of the players fall asleep
Thank you, guys. I especially found oinquarki's illustrations to be helpful.
good question innkeeper, i was just about to ask it.
