Message:
Is the game ended if one player has only his king left even though his king is not in check and if so is this a draw or a win for the other player.

This was in a non-virtual game. I had only one pawn and my king left. He had lots. I could only move my pawn froward into a space where it was taken as all other moves put my king in check.

Kramnik triumphant in Moscow — Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik won the flu-stricken Tal Memorial on Saturday. Playing more deliberately and sharply, the Russian grandmaster reinvented himself. He did not mind dwelling in complications and kept his cool in difficult situations. He withstood the last-round charge of Ukraine's Vassily Ivanchuk, last year's winner of the same chess event. Magnus Carlsen sneaked in a tie for second place by winning the last two games. The Norwegian grandmaster gained enough rating points to move into the world's top spot. The world chess champion Vishy Anand of India had a chance to tie for first with Kramnik, but lost in the last round with the white pieces to ...

French chess star wins world junior — Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France edged Sergei Zhigalko of Belarus to win the World Junior Chess Championship in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Each scored an undefeated 10 1/2 -2 1/2 in the 82-player tournament, the most prestigious age-limited chess event. Only players born in 1989 or later were eligible. Vachier-Lagrave, 19, earned the chess grandmaster title in 2005 and won the French championship in 2007. He entered the tournament as the top seed with a rating of 2718 (23rd in the world), but his triumph was hardly guaranteed in an upset-filled melee that included 16 other grandmasters, including six rated above 2600. Zhigalko, 20, was seeded third ...

But if i sacrifice my pawn i am then only left with my king and that is where the question arises from. Is it within the rules to play with only your king if the other player can still checkmate or is it a loss or a draw.

Flu virus keeps competitors in check at Tal Memorial — Ten of the world elite are competing at Moscow's Tal Memorial, which ends today and is one of the strongest tournaments in chess history. But the winner in the chess event's first half was a flu virus which affected several grandmasters and encouraged a minimalist, cautious approach. Ukraine's Vasily Ivanchuk wore a face mask, and a high 80 per cent of the first five round games were drawn. The sickest chess player was Magnus Carlsen, 19, who had trained beforehand with Garry Kasparov and was expected to unleash some opening bombs in his campaign to become world No 1. But Norway's golden teen was close to defeat against Vlad Kramnik in the opening round and then ...

The game is drawn:
a) When stalemate arises (player whose turn it is to move cannot move)
b) After 50 moves without pawn moves or captures
c) On an agreement reached by both players
d) If neither player has sufficient material to checkmate the other player
e) If the position is repeated 3 times with the same player to move
f) If so adjudicated by an arbiter.
If you only have your king left, then the game is drawn if the other player only has a bare king, bishop, or knight. Similarly, KB vs. KN is a draw, KN vs. KN is a draw, etc. If one player has a rook, queen, two pieces, or any pawns, the game continues.

Kramnik Wins Tal Memorial, Carlsen Claims No. 1 Ranking — In a wild and exciting final round, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the former world chess champion, drew his last game to claim the 2009 Tal Memorial tournament title. Kramnik led from Round 6 on and finished with three wins, six draws and no losses. Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine, Kramnik’s last round opponent, missed several chances to win and settled for a tie for second with Magnus Carlsen of Norway, who beat Peter Leko of Hungary. With his victory, Carlsen overtook Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria to become the world’s top-ranked chess player. At 18, Carlsen is the youngest chess player to be No. 1. Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, was in second place before ...

Play online chess | king is ok
Message:
yes. play on. you could scrape a draw in certain circumstances. but only if you get in a position where you cannot move without putting your king into check. if in this position you are already in check then this is checkmate and u lost. if you are not in check then position is stale..mate, and u got a draw. On this site the program will tell u this of course.

Norwegian, 18, Is Youngest to Be Ranked No. 1 at Chess — The chess world has a new No. 1 player, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, and he is only 18 years old — the youngest chess player ever to hold the rank. On Saturday, Mr. Carlsen beat Peter Leko, a Hungarian player now ranked No. 11, in the final round of a chess tournament in Moscow. Though Mr. Carlsen only tied for second in the tournament, his performance was good enough for him to edge out Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria for the top world ranking. Mr. Topalov, 34, did not compete in the tournament. Mr. Carlsen, who turns 19 on Nov. 30, is only the seventh No. 1-ranked chess player since the ranking system began in 1970. Garry Kasparov, the Russian former world chess champion ...
