I'm relatively new to chess and today when I was playing against my computer It ended in a draw. Can anyone explain why?How is this a draw? chess titans?
basically, its called a stalemate. it means you or the opponent is not in check, however they have no moves such as where ever the king goes it will put him in chec. if you can move any other piece like a pawn, it is not stalemate. when you have only a king left, try to make the other person go into stalemate. your welcome :)How is this a draw? chess titans?
Because that is a stalemate. The black king is currently not in check, but with black to move any move it makes will place it in check. So black has nowhere to move , but it is not checkmated by white since as it stands it is not in check. This is called stalemate and it's a draw.
