Subject: Claiming the 50-move draw

Go up one level in this thread


The rules say that you can only claim the draw on your move ... which is
terminated when you make your move!

Therefore, a player has to claim before completing the move ... indicating (if
necessary) that they are going to make a move which does not capture a man
(piece or pawn, whatever the FIDE rule text actually says!) or push a pawn.

It is not therefore possible for both sides to claim at the same time.  However,
I am interested to hear how the 'claim' and 'concession' works in computer chess
on the internet.
