Stupid draw (-1 points for me)

Sadly you got what you diserved by not trading queens as your king could stop the passed pawn in this winning endgame.

1. Study and improve.

2. Grow up and quit making excuses.

3. Learn the rules of chess.

4. How is it your opponents fault you dont know Opening Principles?

5. How is it your opponents fault you miss simple tactics?

I could go on, but thats enough...

Stupid draw, indeed. And you let it happen. He outsmarted you and here you are bringing attention to it. Good job.

Speaking about stupid draws... I have a couple of contributions to make.

Just lol. Imagine at war, opponent trapped, cant move, DRAW let them go home.

This isn't war. It's a game. And maybe you've never heard of the Cold War, it was basically a draw.

Well if army trap other army in a house, and trapped army is very weak with no enough defence they surrender or get killed, no draw. Or fight till theres nothing left.

There was also draw when my opponent sacrifised bishop and knight almost at the start (after i took his rook with queen) so could have enough place for perpetual check, so gj him because what?

What if they are holding the enemy commander as an hostage? To keep the analogy with your game, I mean.

ALI_MAKAVELI

You call a hostage person who can escape and be safe for a moment, which cannot be trapped or killed?

Stalemate can be hostage, so they agree for a draw, not perpetual check.

The rules don't attempt to simulate a war or battle. The only purpose of the rules is to make an interesting game, rich in strategy and tactics.

ALI_MAKAVELI

Hahaha, interesting game is a draw by perpetual check, you serious? 50 same moves, very tactical and interesting!

Perpetual check = no escape. You stop running, you die.

No, I mean it's an interesting game that contains the possibility, and the players play with that possibility in mind.

You don't even seem to understand what a perpetual check is.

The game ends after a threefold repetiotion, but I guess you have never heard of that, either...

Is it so troublesome to read the game rules before playing?

Oh come on man you're 2300+, you don't have to be condescending with the guy

It is because of his stubborness I think.

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.
