Hi there.
In this next hour, I want to introduce you to a way of drawing again.
So drawing a game is when you don't win, but neither does your opponent.
You share the points.
So most games of noughts and courses, for example, they quite often end in draws of both players play
correctly.
Thankfully, chances are much more difficult game.
And you don't draw that easily in chess.
But there are ways and means of drawing which you need to be aware of now here.
So we have this position where we're in check.
The opponent is really down in material.
We can see that the opponent's got loads more material.
However, the opponent in this position can actually carry on.
Tracking infinitely is called perpetual check.
So and because they can do that, it's actually a draw by perpetual check and that is a key way of drawing.
Many games have been salvaged from perpetual check.
So it is a resource hopefully at your disposal more than the opponents.
When you need it.
You might be down in material like here and you get this perpetual check.
It's not unfair.
It's within the rules of chess.
And it means it reinforces rather that you have to kind of keep your kids safe.
If you want to win a game.
Quite often you've got to keep your king safe enough that there isn't a perpetual check like this,
for example.
OK, so bear this in mind.
This is one way a game can end up just being drawn, even if you up tons of material.
OK, that's so much.
