perpetual check gone too far

Okay so I am currently playing a game against a player named mohsen_A, and I am clearly in a winning position (check out my game against him). I could easily win, but there is one problem. He has put me in check 13 striaght times and counting, I reported him. He keeps asking for a draw, is this moral, what would you do in my situation?

Please say that this isn't a real post, and that you're joking?!

Surely, SURELY you haven't reported a guy for getting a draw from you. If he can keep checking you forever, the game is a draw. Simple.

It's simple -- if he can find a way to keep checking you, then you aren't in a winning position at all, it's drawn. If he can repeat the position three times, or reach fifty moves without pawn moves or captures, he can claim a draw. Probably he thinks he can do this, and to avoid the tedium of making fifty checks, he offers a draw.

If you can find a way to get out of the checks, then you can then try to win the game. If you can't find a way out, then I wonder why you're not accepting the draw.

All of this is perfectly normal chess. Beats me why you would report him.

Lower rated players just get mad when it happens because they often have winning positions up a lot of material and think it's stupid to get checked over and over when it's clear the king is safe, it just has to keep moving to safety! But it's your job to avoid this, after all, checkmate ultimately wins the game, and so check forces you to react, so you have to make sure the king is always safe from too many checks. I think in a lot of Kasparov-Karpov matches, one player sacs a piece in a dull position to get prepetual check getting an easy draw.

Not quite. The king had an escape square.

pwnd, you are breaking chess.com rules by giving information/assistance regarding a game in progress. I strongly suggest you delete your post ASAP.

the player doing all of the checks didnt claim a draw by threefold repetition, therefore it is not a draw!

rich- both times i went through that game kept me in stitches!  sooo funny!  you got anymore like that?  :D

Either player can claim a draw via threefold repetition.

At my level though, draws are usually agreed, and seldom claimed.

Hey Rich, did I overlook something, or could the queen have easily been sacked on moves 71, 73 & 74?

It is part of the game.  I am not sure why you brought up the fact of a moral issue?  Morals is a way to live life.  This is just chess, not life or death.

Incidentally, the title of the OP is excellent.

"Perpetual check gone too far" - how can 'perpetual' go too far, as by definition it goes on forever...
