A draw in chess is attained in any of the following ways:
- Draw by Agreement: the players agree to a draw
- Stalemate: the side who's turn it is to move is not in check, but has no legal moves
- 50-move rule: if neither a piece has been captured, or a pawn advanced, within the last 50 moves at any time during the game
- Threefold repetition rule: the same player has repeated the same move three times in a game (the moves do not have to be consecutive)
- Impossibility of checkmate
In a timed game additional possibilities exist.
Draws by stalemate and impossibility of checkmate are automatic.
A draw by agreement can be made at any time, but once offered cannot be withdrawn; if the opponent makes a move it is considered to be declined.
Draws by 50-move and threefold-repetition are optional but must be claimed with the arbiter; once a claim is made it is considered an offer and cannot be withdrawn, and the opponent can accept before the arbiter makes a ruling.
In tournament play a draw awards 1/2 point to each player.
