If the last move resulted in checkmate, that shall take precedence.
Rules for king moves in chess series#
ĩ.6 If one or both of the following occur(s) then the game is drawn:ĩ.6.2 any series of at least 75 moves have been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. No claim needs to be made by either player, as the draw is mandatorily applied by the arbiter. If seventy-five moves are made without a pawn move or capture being made, the game is drawn unless the seventy-fifth move delivers a checkmate. Such a position is sometimes termed a "cursed win" (where mate can be forced, but it runs afoul of the 50-move rule), or a "blessed loss" from the perspective of the other player. Tablebases do not consider the 50- or 75-move rules, so a position that is a theoretical win according to the tablebases may be a draw in over-the-board chess. In correspondence chess under ICCF rules, the fifty-move rule only applies when more than seven pieces remain on the board when seven pieces or fewer remain, a win or draw may be claimed with reference to endgame tablebases. Filipowicz claimed the draw after move 70 by Smederevac, the last pawn having been moved on move 20 by Smederevac. One example was the game Filipowicz versus Smederevac, Polanica Zdrój 1966, where no captures had been made in the whole game. Games drawn under the fifty-move rule before the endgame are rare. When a draw under the fifty-move rule can be claimed, one of the players is usually happy to claim it. Therefore, a game can continue beyond a point where a draw could be claimed under the rule. The relevant part of the FIDE laws of chess is quoted below: ĩ.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by a player having the move, if:ĩ.3.1 he writes his move, which cannot be changed, on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move which will result in the last 50 moves by each player having been made without the movement of any pawn and without any capture, or 9.3.2 the last 50 moves by each player have been completed without the movement of any pawn and without any capture.Ī claim does not have to be made at the first opportunity it can be made any time when there have been no captures or pawn moves in the last fifty moves.Ī game is not automatically declared a draw under the fifty-move rule the draw must be claimed by the player whose turn it is to move. In correspondence chess, a rule similar to these endgame exceptions still applies, in that a player can claim a win or draw based on seven-piece endgame tablebases (which do not consider the 50-move rule). However, winnable positions that required even more moves were later discovered, and in 1992, FIDE abolished all such exceptions and reinstated the strict 50-move rule over the board.
The rule was therefore changed to allow certain exceptions in which 100 moves were allowed with particular material combinations.
However, in the 20th century it was discovered that certain endgame positions are winnable but require more than 50 moves (without a capture or a pawn move). The simplest common endings, called the basic checkmates, such as king and queen versus king, can all be won in well under 50 moves. The purpose of this rule is to prevent a player with no chance of winning from obstinately continuing to play indefinitely or seeking to win by tiring the opponent.Ĭhess positions with only a few pieces can be " solved", that is, the outcome of best play for both sides can be determined by exhaustive analysis if the outcome is a win for one side or the other (rather than a draw), it is of interest to know whether the defending side can hold out long enough to invoke the fifty-move rule. The fifty-move rule in chess states that a player can claim a draw if no capture has been made and no pawn has been moved in the last fifty moves (for this purpose a "move" consists of a player completing a turn followed by the opponent completing a turn).
