So you all saying if i cant win i should do perpetual check and just draw every single game? Against Kasparov too?

It won't happen anyway.

But it can end with perpetual mate- no?

There are big chances indeed!

I think that was great play by black. It is exactly what I would have played for in that position. I am completely at a loss to explain why players - albeit normally quite weak players - think that this is some sort of problem. It is as if they think the opponent should let them win!!!

When I am losing a game I fight tooth and nail to try to make it hard for the opponent. They may slip up under the pressureven though they have a technically 'won' position. I try to activate any pawns I have to try to see if I can push one all the way. Or look for stalemate positions or perpetual check positions as shown in this great example.

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...

Browse previous threads here. This is a small sample of suggested "improvements":

1. Abolish stalemate.

2. Abolish perpetual check.

3. Abolish en-passant.

4. Abolish long/ short/ both castlings.

5. Declare a lone king winner when opponent runs out of time.

6. Ban cowards which do not accept sacrificed material.

And so it goes...

I can assure you that none of the above will happen, though.

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.

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.

Avatar of 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
