It's 50 moves each, isn't it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty-move_rule
Thank you, by that definition there has been one capture & if both turns count as a "move" than we are technically at 12 moves. I would still like to know what the procedure is to request the draw if it comes to that. thank you.
A draw can be proclaimed by a player if:
1. 100 consecutive plies have occurred that are not captures and not pawn moves. The proclamation can be made at any time after that criterion has been met.
or:
2. A move has just been made by one's opponent that reconfigures the board ( the exact same material in the exact same squares ) as it was on at least two other moves. This type of proclamation can only be made on the proclaimer's move. Either immediately after the proclaimer's opponent does it; or, If the proclaimer is the one who re-reconfigures the board, then he must "demonstrate" that he can make the move without actually removing his hand from the piece ( that way, the proclaimer is still "on move" ).

hello, I am currently playing an online game where my opponent has a knight, a king, &a bishop pawn. I have a bishop, & a king. We are 26 moves currently with out a pawn move. How do I ask for or claim a draw under the 50 moves without a pawn move rule? Anyone who could give me some information on this subject or tell me who to contact, I would greatly appreciate thank you.
