HOW IS THIS A TIE???

https://www.chess.com/game/live/165179938696

The game decided this is a tie because he refused to go to the bottom left corner. I was trying to trap him in the bottom left corner but he just refused to go there. I was winning by 18 points and he was about to run out of time but the game decided to end early and make it a tie because he refused to go to the corner.

Not you again just get good

Draw by repetition is when a position appears 3 times in the same game, resulting in a draw

The black player has so many chances to check-mate white why he didn't do it😭

Even worst chess players I have ever seen deliver checkmate with two queens very convincingly. You have to learn it before you do anything else. Or you should quit chess instantly and forever.

Martin better than bro

From move 55 onward, you had a checkmate in 1 on all but one of your moves.

You apparently don't know how to execute a ladder mate.

You clearly ignored the pop-up explaining why the game was a draw.

You're getting mad because your opponent didn't play the moves you wanted.

You're still playing blitz religiously, despite several people clearly explaining to you why it's the reason you're not improving.

I think it's about time you admitted that your egregious lack of common sense is the issue.

YOU REAPEATED THE POSITION THREE TIMES YOU HAD LIKE TEN MATES IN ONE

This game's community is more toxic then PC League. Instead of helping me get better you guys are being mean and calling me a bad player when I win half my games.

I don't know, managing to draw by repitition with two queens vs a lone king is almost impressive.

loser

Bully.

As your previous forum posts would show, several people have tried to help you to improve in the past, but you have repeatedly ignored their advice and continue to make the same errors and reinforce the same self-destructive habits they have advised you against.

As the saying goes: "You can't help someone who doesn't want to change."

Lmao that was actually impressive not to accidentally stalemate or checkmate

When you try to do that checkmate you need to make sure you are getting the king to the corner or at least the back rank as fast as possible. I would suggest you look up what a ladder mate is, it will help you improve. Also, as for your question, the same exact position happened three times so it is a draw.

Before you make a move, ask yourself "what would I play in response to this move if I was my opponent"

Half of chess is thinking in the shoes of your opponent

Absolutely peak elementary school response. That'll really silence him!
