</ol>
<p>In addition:<br />
With stalemate, we can talk about the 50 move rule and the three-fold repetition to go for a draw. </p>
<p>50 moves:<br />
If in 50 consecutive moves you have not been able to capture a piece, you can call a draw. (Another reason why notation is important)</p>
<p>Three-fold repetition:<br />
 If the same position occurs 3 times (not necessarily on consecutive moves) with the same player to move, either player may point this out and claim a draw. If neither player claims the draw, play continues (either player may still lose on time). </p>
<p>You can also call a draw when you don&#8217;t have enough material for checkmate:</p>
<ol>
<li>King against king</li>
<li>King and bishop against king</li>
<li>King and knight against king</li>
<li>King and bishop against king and bishop when the bishops are on the same color squares. </li>
</ol>
