Waiting.....
@MuhammadAreez10 -- We cannot reuse any statements that have been posted, otherwise we could just post the previous statement by other players without thinking. And if all true statements have been found, the Round ends.
Statement h is actually false, the players need not be grandmasters for such a draw.
Round Over!
So I was right! As the camel said, "Humph!"
You were right, but you posted a false statement, so you don't get the point.
==Round 11==
a) Nicholas Chan is a Singaporean chess player.
b) Eric Hansen is an American chess player.
c) The decoy is a tactic which forces a piece onto a certain square by continuously pushing it.
d) Two connected pawns on the sixth rank (or third rank for Black) beat a lone rook.
e) A king, knight and bishop vs King endgame may end in a win (not including resignation).
f) A position with White King on f2, Queen on a1, Black pawn on h3 and King on h2 is stalemate for Black.
g) IM stands for Intellectual Master
h) KIA is short for King Indian's Attack.
i) A forced mate is a type of mate where the opponent has no possible way to prevent it.
j) Zugzwang is a German word.

You can post one statement every 2 hours.
E is true
Two hours have passed so I can do another guess then a is true
Statement h) is true. By the way, I'm assuming you meant "King's Indian Attack", not "King Indian's Attack".
b) is true.
Statement d) is almost always true, especially when the player with the rook can't use his king to prevent promotion.
#210 -- Round Over!! Nicholas Chan is actually a Malaysian chess player, not Singaporean. Thus, any posts after that are not counted.
My point isn't counted from the round before!
==Round 12==
a) A King and pawn vs King ending normally results in a draw if the pawn is on the a- or h- file and the lone King can get in front of the pawn.
b) Radoslaw Wojtaszek is a Polish Grandmaster.
c) The smothered mate normally ends with a knight check.
d) Zoltan Almasi is from Argentina.
e) No matter which square the bishop and knight are put on an empty board, the knight will control less squares compared to the bishop.
f) There are 3 possibilities of how the move exd6 takes place in a chess game. (From where the pawn starts and the place of capture)
g) The Caro-Kann starts with 1. c3
h) Weak! is a chess variant in which White has the usual pieces while Black has a King, eight knights and 16 pawns.

Isn't a grandmaster draw a draw in a game that lasts only a few moves, regardless of how it happens? And MuhammadAreez10, I think I misunderstood, I thought it was just between true statements...Should I just delete the comment and continue the round?
Yes, a grandmaster draw is a drawn game that is very short, but the game ends due to agreement, so the statement was still true.
