A draw in chess?

I am playing chess against the computer. I have 2 queens a rook and 3 pawns. He only has a pawn that can't move and can only move his king. I'm ready to mate in a few more moves and he declares that the game is a draw. What happened?A draw in chess?
My guess is a stalemate. Look at his possible moves. Can he make any? If he can't, and he is not in check, it is a draw called a stalemate.
the king cannot move anywhere this is called a stalemateA draw in chess?
he declared a draw because he didnt have many more moves to make. just one question, how did you get two queens?
This situation is known as STALEMATE. It's your opponent's move, wherein his King is not under a check and it is the only piece which he can move. Also, your pieces are placed in such a way that if he moves his king anywhere, it would come under check, which is an illegal move.



Hence it's a draw and you both share a half point each.A draw in chess?
you stalemated the computer, it's a draw
When the king is not in checkmate, but cannot move it is called a stalemate. Neither person can win.
You didn't indicate the positions of the pieces in your answer, so it's tough to say.



But it appears to be either a stalemate or a draw by the 50 move rule. Well, actually , it could also be a draw by three-fold-repetition... I'm guessing either stalemate or 3 fold repetition is the case here... but if the program was any good, it should explain WHY it's declaring a draw.



Did the computer DECLARE a draw, or did it OFFER you a draw?
Yep, sounds like you screwed up and allowed him to stalemate you.



As the other answers indicated, a stalemate occurs when the side to move is NOT in check, but only have moves that will PUT him in check. When that happens it's a draw... no matter how many more pieces you might have.



And to the person who answered above who asked how you got two Queens: Obviously he promoted one of his pawns to a another Queen. Duh.
