Delivering checkmate

Have you ever wanted to get checkmate but your opponent seems to smart to get past them? This is most likely because you are following your original plan, when you could just play something else:

Note:
  1. The position is pretty much impossible
  2. This has not happened in any of my game
  3. I am not a grandmaster

You wanted to checkmate them, but they blocked with the rook, instead of taking the rook, you could move one of the queens to the same row as the king, the way I did it, I missed the M1 and chose to go M2, the faster you win the game, the more time you have to do other stuff

Have a great rest of your day

What contributes to a draw

There are many different draws, not moving a pawn for 75 moves:

I did not Finnish it because that would take forever

Or no legal moves for one side:

Or repeated moves:

Or the rarer one: not enough material for ether person to checkmate the other person:

So if you are in a situation where you can't win, stay in the center of the board, and wait for you opponent to give up all there pieces, or the 75 moves thing will happen, its sometimes 50.

Have a great rest of your day
