A draw in chess is attained in any of the following ways:

  • the players agree to a draw
  • there is a stalemate: no checkmate, but no legal moves
  • if there are 50 moves without a piece captured or advancement of a pawn, either player can claim a draw.
  • the identical position is repeated 3 times in a game (not necessarily consecutively) and a player claims a draw.
  • a player runs out of time and the ostensibly winning player lacks "mating material" (enough pieces to checkmate)
