Wow. I learned something today!

Are there any other ways? Tick-tock, tick-tock.

lol Not that i know of. XD

There are even 7 ways to draw a game of chess.

Forfeit

Opponent steps on arbiter's big toe.

Default

(For example. one player throws a queen into random spaces out of anger and the arbiter disqualifies the player)

Your big mates suggest he might prefer to lose.

Well, technically the player who "wins" the game could well have provoked the other player into throwing a queen.

You can also win a game if the police come into the playing hall and arrest your opponent.

I annoy my opponent by constantly putting their king in check so that eventually, they get exasperated and abandon the game. My goal initially was not to annoy them, it just worked out that way! Plus, I need EVERY advantage I can get cuz I’m not particularly good.

That old saying: "Always check, it might be mate!"

yea blueemu i've done that a lot of times.

You could also just move your rook like a bishop, should lose the game for you

If you're playing in an otb tournament you can stand up while playing to intimidate your opponent into making a blunder

If you're playing a series of games (say, one game each week) at home against a neighbour, you should saw a quarter of an inch (half a centimeter) off all four legs of his chair before each game.

As the weeks go by, he will slowly sink into the ground while you gradually start to tower over him, more and more as the series of games goes by.

Psychologically very effective.

Here's another way to win at chess:
