How to Play Chess: The Rules

[hoskinsds]

A game can also be drawn if 1 of these situations occur:

King vs King

King and Knight (1 or 2)vs King

King and Bishop vs King

King and Bishop vs King and Bishop with both Bishops on the same colour square/

[fduniho]

@hoskinsds Yes, in each case the draw is due to insufficient mating material.

chess is wank 

[iHateNumbersInNames9]

I disagree with promoting pawns to queens, they should always be promoted to knights, think about it for a moment. If a soldier does well in battle, should he really be rewarded by being given a sex change and then be married to the king? no! knight that man say I.

[fduniho]

@iHateNumbersInNames9 Some Chess variants replace Pawn promotion with the liberation of a captured piece. So, instead of promoting a Pawn, you would exchange it for a previously captured piece. One example is Christian Freeling's Grand Chess. One slight variant of Chess with your suggestion in mind is what I might call Monogamous Chess, in which a Pawn on the last rank may promote to any piece but a Queen or be exchanged for a captured Queen.

@iHateNumbersInNames9 No, The pawn sacrifices itself to revive the queen!

[fduniho]

@mvsixth In Chess, it is legal for a player to promote every Pawn to a Queen, even if none are captured, and so have nine Queens. It's unlikely to happen, but it's legal.
