| 19 Feb 2001 | None | As the page states: "Note that to have perpetual check, it is necessary that the same positions appear after a while; just giving `a lot of' checks after another isn't sufficient to have perpetual check." So really, the rule is that if the same position is repeated three times, the game is a draw. See the FIDE Laws of Chess article 10.10. I hope this answers your question. --D. Howe |
| 17 Feb 2001 | None | Could you please define perpetual check, further? When is sufficent and insufficent. In this example, ther were no ohter moves fo rwhite to save his king ohter that the perpetual check.. Can it be possible for perpetual check to occur if their are other moves for the black to prevent his king from being checked?? (i.e queen from d8, to d7 or king from e8,to e7) The question of perpetual check was caused by black attempting to trade queen and white using check to avoid losing rook on f8 to bishop from d5 wich could not be taken by white nor could white avoid either losing his queen or rook to capture. thus would not claiming that prepetual check was cause for the draw |
