Hi, Cybil H. Gaster (chg2266@is.nyu.edu) wrote: : Once you've taken all of the oposing player's pieces but the king, how : many moves do they have until it is a stale mate? According to me there is a law which is interpreted as " If there is no capture for 50 moves then the game is considered as drawn". Some say that this has been extended to 100 moves considering some of the R+B vs R positions. Hence this may moves are required to DRAW the game after a person loses all his pieces. However regarding STALEMATE , i do not know what exactly you mean. STALEMATE is a specific position and i do not think that it strictly depends upon the number of moves.
