” What does ‘draw’ mean in chess? why can’t they kill the last player and how is it different from Checkmate?”
In: 4
A draw in chess can occur when a player has no legal moves but their king is not in check, or when the opponent cannot checkmate the king by any possible series of moves.
With a checkmate the king is threatened and can’t escape, but with a draw the king isn’t threatened in a way it can’t escape. For example it isn’t legal to move your king into check so if there are only two kings on the board nobody can win, but no king is threatened either.
