@SuperbattleshipYamato I have played chess a lot, and when I mean a lot I mean my whole childhood. I was a Chess fanatic. I even took chess classes. It was a huge part of my childhood but not once have I have seen or heard of a tie. With other games, maybe, but Chess? Do you mean Chinese Chess or Classic? I mean Classic.

@SuperbattleshipYamato The only way there is a “draw” is if there are two kings.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

No, I mean agreeing to end the game because each side is too good.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@SuperbattleshipYamato Like I said before if you want to call it a draw I will follow suit. I don’t want anyone to feel pressured do do things they would rather not do. So please do what you feel is best.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@FranceNeedsMorePower

I’ll need some time to make a decision.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@SuperbattleshipYamato Don’t feel pressured to keep going. I’m fine by calling it a truce or tie.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@SuperbattleshipYamato I will be busy this Wednesday because school starts and when that starts my time for playing A&A will dramatically decrease.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Panther I would say now thinking more I have heard of the three fold thing just never seen or heard anyone do that. Thanks for sending that.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Your experience is really interesting.

Usually the higher the level of play the higher is the rate of draws in chess.

I remember the World Championship Final games in 2018 when Magnus Carlsen played against Fabiano Caruana. All twelve regular games ended with a draw.

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Panther Ah I think maybe I know the issue in 2018 I was only 7 and wasn’t as big as a chess fanatic as I was when I was 8-10. Then I was just taking classes for chess. That’s what really sparked my interest I have not played chess for a while though. I assume I’m not bad at it though. Just haven’t played recently. What were the draws? Where they stalemates or draws?

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Panther My Father also was part of me getting interested in Chess. It’s a fun game. Now I have had plenty of Stalemates but I don’t feel that should be in the same bucket as draw. Reason for that is because in this scenario He is proposing the idea of calling it a draw because both sides are very good or well maintained. A Stalemate is not that. Both sides are done to the bitter bone and only have one King left. Hopefully my logic makes sense if not I would be happy to better or re-explain it.

@FranceNeedsMorePower
I think it’s not an issue at all. You are young. And you most likely did not have much contact to professional chess (where the draw rate is about 60-80%).

In the 2018 Final - as far as I remember - all draws were agreements of both players that the situation on the board wasn’t to be won by either side.

When I talk about professional chess I am talking about FIDE Grandmasters with very high ELO numbers. On this level stalemates only rarely occur, if ever.

In any case both situations (stalemate or agreement) in Chess are called “Remis” (or draw), that lead to 0,5 points for White and Black.

Oh, and talking about this: A draw results with King and King versus Knight as it does with King and Bishop versus King, too.

@FranceNeedsMorePower I will say I was not into the world championships nor did I knew those existed till I got older. Wow, that’s shocking looks like I learned something knew! :) The issue is differently that I’m not familiar with World Championships. As for that matter I’m not into any Championship of any related sport active. What I mean is for example is sports television programs. Now playing sports abosualty. And by sports I don’t just mean physical logical sports as well. Like chess is a sport just a mind one. Me not being interested in sports on television lead me not to want to dabble into Chess championships. I have a lot of thoughts right now and hopefully they came out clear. Speaking of Chess Championships you should watch this. I think you will enjoy it. Ah but your German right? So you may have to put on subtitles or something.

Thank you, funny video. When pronunciation is as clear and crisp as in this video I don’t have any problems to understand it.
But I would not understand Daryl Dixon without English subtitles however.

@Panther I think that’s the guy’s names. Glad you enjoyed! :)

[FranceNeedsMorePower]

@Panther I mean guy. Not guy’s.
