	Draw (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chess, a draw is one of the possible outcomes of a game, the others being a win for white and a win for fl.
		A draw is the same as a tie.
		Draws would not directly be discouraged, but it would not be logical to settle for a draw if there are winning chances.

		Chess is unique in that at any point both participants can mutually agree to a draw, but quick draws, so their argument goes, undercut the notion of a contest between two players.
		While chess is not normally considered a spectator sport, the exact sequence of moves of a game can be reenacted at a later point in time, and quick draws do not allow for this opportunity.
		Certainly chess players may be deprived of the opportunity to watch or play through a game in one round, but the option still exists to watch or play through the games from all of the other rounds.

	Maurice Ashley on draws
		In the latter, after having captured the imagination of millions of chess playing fans and the general public, the players stunned everyone by agreeing to a draw in a position where the tension was just reaching its peak.
		However, the draw offer in a position full of life with mysteries yet to be revealed has got to be the most abused rule in all of chess.
		Today’s teenage chess players would think you insane if you told them that Botvinnik used to be able to stop a game in progress, go have his assistants analyze the position for several hours, and come back with analysis that had been polished and spit-shined for him.

		Chess fans suffer as a result, as most follow chess in books and magazines and not live.
		However, I believe that there is a way to solve the problem of quick draws in chess radically and without altering the nature of chess.
		It is pointless to blame chess players for such draws - they act according to their interest, accepted rules and ethics.

	Chess - MSN Encarta
		If players do not want to continue a game for any reason they may agree to call it a draw, but in certain situations a draw is mandated by the rules.
		When a player cannot make any move but is not in check, the game is a draw by stalemate (if the king were in check, however, it would be checkmate).
		In formal play, the game is a draw if 50 consecutive moves are made by each side without a capture or a pawn move, or if the same position is about to be repeated for the third time with the same player having the move.

		Fifth, it would be a mistake to think that a draw by TFRP requires that the player on the move be able to force his opponent into a three-fold repetition of position.
		But a draw by TFRP also occurs where the opponent is not forced to repeat the position but is free to vary.

	bramcohen: Eliminating draws from Chess
		Here's an idea for eliminating draws from chess: add a 'tiebreak' rule, which is that games which are draws under the regular rules are instead won by the last player to have made a capture.
		Chess is fun because ply destroy information about the result, but some leaks through in the form of patterns (and of course, material balance).
		Forced draws by repetition aren't all that common because the king is a fairly powerful piece and generally capable of warding them off on his own.

	Susan Polgar Chess Blog: Disappointing last round at Tal Memorial
		Chess is not a game about being spectacular, it is about obtaining the most favorable result with the least possible risk.
		Draws are supposed to be the result of a game where both played so well that could not be beaten.
		Unfortunately most draws in the Tal Memorial were of a questionable nature but an honest draw is a worthy accomplishnent especially for the defender and she/he should not be forced to blitz out a win/loss result.

	Howstuffworks "How Chess Computers Work"
		The current state-of-the-art in computer chess is fairly intricate, but all of it involves blind computation that is very simple at the core.
		What a chess computer tries to do is generate the board-position tree five or 10 or 20 moves into the future.
		Once it generates the tree, then the computer needs to "evaluate the board positions." That is, the computer has to look at the pieces on the board and decide whether that arrangement of pieces is "good" or "bad." The way it does this is by using an evaluation function.
