Play online chess |  Subject: rule query
Message:
is there a rule whereby if playerx constantly checks playery then the game is drawn?? I realise its simple in the case of a perpetual check where the king is trapped and can only move to two squares. But what if the king can move all over the board and be checked 15 times in a row or more. Is there a rule here??????

At that point its time to resign. If the same position occurs three times in a row, it is a draw, but if its just simply moving your king out of check and opponent moving to put you in check 15 times....makes for an uninteresting game

There is no "draw by perpetual check" rule per se; it's a specific case of a general draw rule. A chess game is drawn whenever the exact same position occurs on the chessboard three times over the course of a game with the same side to move each time and both sides possessing the same move priveledges (i.e. castling rights, rights to capture pawns en passant, etc...). The threefold repetition of a position need not occur on successive moves.

On Chess: Computers hardly a threat to game — Some chess grandmasters have lamented that computers take the creativity out of chess, but their concern for the future of the game of chess is off the mark. An excessive use of chess computers undeniably dulls a player's mind - especially if the reliance on computer analysis leaves no room for hardscrabble human inquiry. The games of top chess players such as Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura vividly demonstrate that free-flowing, swashbuckling creative chess might thrive even more in the age of computers. It is, however, no longer possible to hide behind time-tested lines of play based on years of personal exploration and expertise. Computer analysis usually can ...

Play online chess | Another draw rule
Message:
is the 50 move rule. This occurs when 50 moves have elapsed since any pawn has moved or been captured. The stronger party must mate within these 50 moves, or the game is declarable as a draw.
One last draw rule is the Dr. Gandalf rule. It says Dr. Gandalf is entitled to a draw in any game he is losing. However, I have never seen it enforced.

Queen to Play (movie review) — In “Queen to Play,” a subtle, absorbing film that features Kevin Kline in his first French-speaking role, the only thing that happens, really, is that a hard-working, soft-spoken woman learns to play chess. Seriously. That’s it. Because this “Queen” arrives in Washington at the start of the summer movie season, nearly two years after its initial release in France, that narrative simplicity has a certain appeal. At a time when most pictures are all CGI’d up and Imaxed out, there’s something particularly enjoyable about settling into a film whose pleasures reside in quiet moments, understated performances and the reading of subtitles. “Queen to Play,” originally titled “Joueuse” in French, or “Player,” introduces us to ...

There is no rule which says if the king keeps moving and keeps being put in chech 15 times that the game is written off as a draw.

Vishy Anand able to smile after world title candidates take shape — Vishy Anand can smile. The chess champion's hopes of retaining his crown in 2012 were already boosted when the world No2 Magnus Carlsen withdrew as a candidate. Now the world No3 and favourite Levon Aronian is also out after his tense and nervous play led to missed chances and a 3.5-4.5 loss to Russia's Alex Grischuk. Anand has good form against all four semi-finalists. Gata Kamsky (US), Boris Gelfand (Israel) and Vlad Kramnik (Russia) are from the Indian's 40ish generation, while Grischuk splits his time between chess and poker. Cautious waiting tactics ruled for most of Kramnik's match with the 23-year-old Azeri Teimour Radjabov, as they drew four classical chess games and four rapid. The ninth ...

Play online chess | Well
Message:
In some endings,this is possible and is a draw. For example KQ vs KQP with the pawn not well advanced, The weak queen can keep checking the strong king and he can go around most of the board. The 50 move rule still holds but proper etiquette would be that the strong player agrees to a draw.

From the archive, 12 May 1997: Deep Blue win a giant step for computerkind — Originally published in the Guardian on 12 May 1997. When Gary Kasparov beat IBM's chess computer in 1989 he arrogantly told the programmers to "teach it to resign earlier". Yesterday, though, the world chess champion found himself humbled by a 1.4-ton heap of silicone in a victory for IBM's Deep Blue that marks a milestone in the progress of artificial intelligence. It is a depressing day for humankind in general. But why did the computer win? IBM's Deep Blue first caused a sensation in Philadelphia last year when it crushed the world chess champion in the first game of their match. "I was rightfully massacred," said Kasparov. Yet he won the series 4-2, striking a blow for the human race at the same time. Game by game, he learned more ...
