So my question, when >does the 50th move begins? Let's say that white makes a capture in move XX, and >there are no captures after that, would not the 50th move end with Black? >Laurence Yes but if black made a capture in move xx the 50th move end with white and if white plays Qf7+ black can instead of capturing the queen claim a draw by the 50 move rule. Qxf4+ avoids the draw in both cases because of the fact that Qxf4+ is a capture and after a capture black can say nothing with the 50 move rule. Uri
