Most people tend to think that stalemates are the only draws that can be made during the game of chess; however, it is not. It is the most commonly used, but not the only. There are two other kinds of draws such as the three fold repetition or the fifty move rule. If you are wanting to win the game you will want to try to avoid the draws and use checkmate!
Stalemates are known as it being your opponent’s turn and they do not have any legal moves that can be made except, the king and it is illegal for the king to check its self. If this is the case neither will win this game.
The three fold repetition is when a same position is played three times during that game then, either one of the players are able to claim on a draw.
Last but not least the fifty move rule within the fifty consecutive moves there is no movements with the pawns, and there are no captures.
Be sure that you try and avoid all these draws, so that you can win the game!
