drawn... how?

(Sounds like a 'Game of Greed', Which 1d4c6_O-1 was discussing in another thread.)

How are you so sure that White was going to play that move? What if White decided to move to a safe square instead?

Also, I'm not too sure what relevance perpetual check has to this topic: unless the moves are repetitive, perpetual checking itself doesn't end a game; neither is it related to whether or not White should take Black's Rook.

It doesn't matter whether white captures the rook or not because the rook will constantly give check if it is not captured. OP asked for positions which are drawn where one side appears to have a massive advantage. 

Here is the full game

Ah, I see it now!
That's pretty clever. 

Heh, This maybe the only realistic example so far in this thread.

I retract my comment.

Not necessarily so. White can still move to a safe square away from the Rook. And, then, The check could be blocked by White's Bishop. Leaving Black no other choice but to make either a random move with the Rook, or to perform a 2+ step plan to get back into checking White's King. Either way, White will deliver Checkmate.

No brother 🤦‍♂️ If white moves the king away black will check with the rook. If white blocks the check with the bishop black will capture the bishop with check and it's still a draw. 

Lol Actually, I already realized this. I was going to delete my comment and unstrike my old point, but you already replied before I did.

And, please do not call me brother; if that's not what you call your sisters and Aunts and mother, etc. Let's have a little respect for gender, yes?

This kind of drawing resource is sometimes lurking when your king has no moves. 

Apologies sister. 

okay

lol Apologies accepted. (I wish I hadn't forgot to reply)

hmm

This position's utterly and completely impossible. There can never be more than 9 Queens from one player at the same time during any game. Edited - And, then, in this particular situation, there can't be more than 8: one pawn has already promoted to the Bishop. (The only way a player could have two Bishops of the same square color is if one was promoted from a pawn; since each Bishop of a player starts on a different square color.) 

Also, Black's Rook having ever moved onto g7 as a response to White's King's move onto h8 already makes it a stalemate way before any of the Queens could even make it to that ^^ configuration.

Nobody said that these were possible, just that theoretically, they are drawn

Oh. I see.

lol Personally, for me, I'd try to keep it within "possible" situations, in according to the rules.

Of course, as a rebuttal against myself, someone might come along and wish for more "realistic" situations of draw. (No serious actual game of chess has ever been recorded where all 8 pawns of a player made it all the way to pawn promotion to produce 8 new Queens, whilst including still the player's original Queen.)

lol

Theoretical it is.

This position is possible

yep

The saddest draw in the history of chess ;-;
