In Chess there are five draw situations, commonly called "Draw", defined by the Laws of Chess of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), which we will explain below:
.In chess, the stalemate is a situation that occurs when the player whose turn it is has no legal moves to make and the king is not in check, so, the king cannot move to other squares because it would be in check position or because they are occupied by own pieces or pieces that are defended, and also the player has no other pieces that can move or capture opponent's pieces.
This situation is reached when none of the players has enough material to mate the opponent's king. The game is said to end in a "dead position". This occurs when on the board there are only:
-King vs king.
-King & knight vs king.
-King & bishop vs king.
-King and bishop vs. king and bishop of the same color as the opponent's bishop.
The fifty-move rule is a rule contained in the Laws of Chess of the International Chess Federation, which states that a game can be a draw if each player has made the last 50 consecutive moves without any pawn move or piece capture.
Situations 2 and 3 are quite similar as we can see.
We have the rule of the three identical positions in article 9.2.1 "The game is a draw, under a correct claim of a player who is in play, when the same position (not necessarily by repetition of moves), at least for the third time will occur.
A player can ask for a draw when a position is reached (or is about to be reached) at least three times in the same game. This repetition is only possible when all the pieces of the same size and color are occupying identical squares as they were before, and all the possible moves are also the same.
As a result, if capturing en passant was previously an option that is no longer available, this position is not considered a repetition.When a threefold repetition occurs, the game does not necessarily need to end immediately. The game only ends in a draw if the player who has the move requests a tie.
Most commonly, threefold repetitions happen when a player is losing and finds a perpetual check to save his game.
In chess it is legal to end the game in a draw if the two opponents agree to end the game and have made at least one move each. In certain tournaments, the competition itself sets specific rules as to which move the players can offer and agree to a draw.
