Points.

hey, i know the point system pretty efficiently, however i had a bit of a debate with a friend after we played a game. it came down to a draw, however, he had a pawn that passed my forces and received his queen. i ended up conquering his newly acquired queen, and told him i won on points (because i was up 10 points **edit, i guess it was 9 points since i didn't get the points for the pawn** after killing his queen... or so i thought.)

would i have received 10 more points for killing an extra queen?

 thanks

There is no such thing as winning on points in chess.

first of all their pawns not points

second of all pawns are relative. You go by how many are on the board not how many you have taken off.

Pawn = 1

bishop = 3.5

knight = 3.5

Having both bishops = .5

doubled pawns = -0.2

rook = 5

queen = 9.5

Those are probbaly mroe accurate then what you are using.

ok, so my interpretation of the whole situation is completely wrong then? gotcha ;)

i'm pretty sure we got left with either just kings, or a king and a pawn each.. so..draw?

if their are pawns it depends how far they are.

chess must be played to the conclution, winning in matereal does not meen anything, only if analisys showes you had a forced winning sequence from a given point you could "say" that you won the game (of course in tournament matches only the result of the game matters, not the position in the end, it is rare that judges need to call the verdict of the game prematurely before any rule that ends the game has been applied, and that happens mostly because of cheating, which is rare anyway... :P)

and another tip, count the peices remaining on the board, they are far more usefull than the ones outside...

well the only two pieces left on the board were kings so .. :p

tournament points?

Lolol

Nice old troll thread.
