Stupid draw (-1 points for me)

Okay, i get it, it is some stupid rule, but its not fair-play, which i guess every sport is promoting. At football by rules its allowed that one team hold ball as long as they can, so imagine "perpetual check" at football, 3 players passing ball to each other whole 45 mins or even 90 mins? Thats some fair-play or interesting match to watch? I dont think so. Even goalkepper gets yellow card or indirect free kick for opponents if he holds ball for too long. By my opinion perpetual check should be limited on a few moves, and if a player cant think of a better move to checkmate opponents king then he could just resign if hes not in winning position, or just try to do something to improve his own position. Rules are rules, but you gotta agree that everywhere some rules are very very stupid, even rules government set.

Stop playing chess, if you don't understand or agree with the rules that is the solution, quit whining.

I agree. Rules should be changed so that your oponent moves what you say and not what he thinks is his better move. That way chess would be easier and more fun.

Omg it's been a month and you're still whining about the rules of a game that's been around for centuries. You're obviously not cut out to play if you're going to blame your loss on the rules. I play in an indoor soccer league that doesn't allow you to take the ball from behind a player (to prevent knee injuries). Is it stupid and annoying? Yes. You know what I, and every single girl in the entire league does about it? Get over it.

I think you are in big misconception if you really think that white was in winning position after his mistake in 43rd move.

Why you think that opponent is not playing fair if he just choose the only move which is not losing for him? Are you playing fair when you decide to move Kg2 and not Qf1 in move 53? The reason is, because you don't want to lose. Well, your opponent also don't want to lose, and any other move instead of Qd1+ or Qg4+ will get him back in losing position.

Ahh...

Another perfect example of someone who spells it like this:

loosing.

Yeh great idea, remove the perpetual check rule and then you can repeat the same position until one of you falls asleep!
Then while your opponent is asleep you can draw a beard on their face! If they already have a beard you could draw some glasses! If they already have a beard and glasses you could just write swearwords on their forehead!

Or alternatively we just keep it as it is. I'm easy.

Perpetual checking is a valid tactic. Sometimes, I have had that done to me. Sometimes, I have done that to others. It is like trying to get a stalemate when you are losing.

I think you would be better off spending your time figuring out how you could have avoided getting into that position in the first place.

As somebody else pointed out, move 42 would have been perfect for trading queens, promoting, and then winning the game.
