Recently, I played a game with a buddy over the weekend.  I was getting destroyed.  I like he was crushing me.  My friend is a USCF 1900 rated player.  Well, I looked up and was about to give up and say good game when I saw an opportunity for perpetual check.  I played the sequence of moves and my friend reluctantly agreed to a draw.  My question is, are there any books to the Art of Perpetual Check that I can study?  It would help me when playing in tournaments when facing stronger players.  Sometimes a draw is much better than a lost, especially, if one is trying to build up on his/her ratings points.

There are no books specifically on the Perpetual Check (at least, not to my knowledge) but they can sometimes be found in tactics books.

There's really not much to learn about perpetual check. You just have to be aware of the possibility whenever the king is exposed. Although sometimes perpetual check is possible because the opposition is not willing to weaken his position to block the check.

Thank you to all who responded.  The link was very helpful in the possibility that certain tactis will give you related to perpetual check.  Thanks again.

Wow how refreshing someone actually trying to get better at finding the draw when needed. I really expected this to be another thread of someone complaining because they didn't win a game that they had the "better position" because of perpetual check or some other forced draw.

Just remember, perpetual check is not the only drawing resource.

Stalemate, if you have only one piece that can legally move, it is sometimes possible to use it as a Kamikaze, and repeatedly offer it for sacrifice.

A Rook pawn and a bishop not covering the queening square is a draw, if your King can get to the corner.

Opposite coloured Bishops are often drawn, even with 3 pawns difference.

Learn how to defend if you have a lone bishop, and your oppnent a lone Rook, If you don't know what you're doing you will lose.

If you play against a queen, and you can get a pawn on the 7th rank, try to make it a Bishop pawn, you can draw that.

If you have a different pawn, play on, many players don't understand the technique of stopping the pawn.

I'm sure I left out a lot.....

I think there is a chapter on Perpetual checks in Susan Polgars Chess Tactics for Champions. But it might just be my memory playing tricks on me.

 Thank you!  My goal and desire is too just get better. 

As a low rated player I think it is a great resource to get out of a jam.  I once had a poorly planned sacrifce of a piece on the king side pawns where the opponent's king had castled.  Realizing my error quickly I made another sacrifice, opened the position and conducted a perpetual check with my queen.  My opponent just groaned. I do wish there was a book devoted to it.
