Understanding draws

Rules · Lesson 15 of 18

What it’s about

  1. Threefold repetition and 50 moves without a pawn move or capture allow a claim. Fivefold repetition and 75 moves end the game automatically; mate on the last move takes precedence.
  2. Positions match only with the same side to move and the same possible moves, including castling and en passant. A diagram alone cannot show repetition history, so these tasks state the history explicitly.
