Answer 1

By rule, the King cannot move himself into danger. He can’t move into a space that would result in him getting taken, considering he’s the whole point of the game. If I put you into a position where the only move you can make is to move your King into danger, you have no legal move to make. But you need to make a move before I can and I still haven’t won yet. So they call it a draw because no one won and no one lost.
