Hi there.
In this lecture, we see another way games can be drawn, you can actually just offer the opponent a
draw and if they accept the game is drawn by agreements.
So you might think here, for example, you can't make progress that easily, can't even go into the
opponent's position.
And hopefully you and your opponent do a great draw voluntarily without playing this out to a 50 move
draw.
So it sort of shortcuts the need to play a lot of 50 moves to claim and draw by 50 moves.
So you can just the great draw and it could be positions which do have some winning chances as well
for either side.
But you can still a great draw if you want.
And you know, that can be pretty useful in online play.
You might only need one point and it's almost as it's towards the last game.
And you can off the opponent draw and get that key point just before the tournament ends and in real
life, professional tournaments, you know, when there's prizes at stake, sometimes, you know, even
professional players like, well, especially professional players, they might want to split the points,
you know, a great draw with their opponents towards the last round or last round, or they might have,
you know, a flight back home.
And they want a kind of quick draw in the final round to get all their stuff sorted, you know, hotel
travel.
So, yeah, it's useful to be able to just offer the opponent a draw in various situations, both online
and in the real world, just off the opponent draw.
And if they accept, then it's a draw.
OK.
Thanks so much.
