Can a game be drawn if it reaches 50 moves without a Checkmate?

Yes, but the server doesn't detect it automatically yet, you will need to notify your opponent and offer a draw. If the draw isn't accepted send me a private message with the game and I'll close the game.

Thanks.
Please close my game with raindrop, as were past 50 moves.

That won't be closed it has to be 50 moves without moving a pawn or capturing a piece. Good attempt at trying to draw the game though

juve_leo, I think it was not an attempt. He asks

"50 moves without a Checkmate?"

so I can imagine he doesn't know the 50 moves rule.

It was discussed here in the forum before, and I tried to find without success.

The rule states that a game is draw if you make 50 complete moves (100 plys or half-moves) only of reversable moves.

That means, unreversable moves like moving a pawn, capturing, promoting or castling make the count start again.

Cheers,

Beco.
