I am just getting back into chess (after a 25 year abstinence). It seems
that I recall that once your opponent gets down to a bare king, you have a
certain number of moves to place him in checkmate otherwise the game ends in
a draw. Am I recalling this correctly ? Does anyone know the number of
moves which are allowed ?
Draw by Repetition: If the same position occurs 3 times (not necessarily on
consecutive moves) with the same player to move, either player may point
this out and claim a draw
Fifty-Move Rule: If either player makes 50 consecutive moves without moving
a pawn or making a capture (irreversible moves), either player may claim a
draw.
