	for draw, you should put "throw the board off the table in anger"

	Perpetual check?

	CrypticC62:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 16:58 GMT		3 points
	@PublicEnemy: Will do, thanks for the heads-up. @Aaron_Kashtan: Perpetual check will lead to either a draw by agreement or threefold repetition. It is not a distinct technical draw.

	Please accept more variations, such as "50 move draw", "Lack of material", "Material", etc.

	Surely just "agreement" should do for "draw by agreement". You don't require "Draw by repetition" or "Draw by stalemate" etc.

	Would be a far better quiz if only far more alternatives were accepted.

	TheArbiter:	Dec 12th, 2010 at 12:21 GMT		2 points
	Second all the above - e.g. accept 50 moves without capture (or pawn movement etc.). Also group the win/loss categories as they are essentially the same thing.

	i tried three fold as 2 words but spelt repition wrong you should just have fold as the word that picks it up, agreed should count, both flags fall is a draw, so is lack of progress by your opponent in a time scramble, poor

	I tried "insufficient mating material" "not enough material" and several other variations. Please accept some alternatives, and this could be a good quiz.

	In terms of a draw, a USCF game could also be ruled a draw by 'Insufficent Losing Chances'. I.E. if someone is running out of time and is CLEARLY winning (I believe the comparison was if a Class C player could beat a master in the final position, given the time) then the TD could award a draw. I think that, at least in the US, qualifies as a technical draw. http://www.gatewaychess.org/Insufficient%20Losing%20Chances.pdf

	'Agreement' and 'mutual agreement' should both be accepted.

	Knew all twelve but didn't know the technical term for the bottom two draw methods :-(

	pilch69:	Jun 13th, 2011 at 02:06 GMT		1 point
	just accept the number 3 or repeat, i tried almost everything, also i tried king v king and variations, i then tried draw offered, draw accepted, mutual draw etc i basically knew 3 answers that i couldn't get

	About "insufficient mating material" - the technical term in the FIDE rules is "dead position" and reached when neither player can checkmate his opponent anymore. This doesn't have to be because of lack of material - it can be up to eight pawns and one bishop per player.

	wolfsbro:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 05:07 GMT		1 point
	You really need to go nuts with the alternative acceptable answers for this quiz to be successful. e.g. Not enough pieces/not enough material/too few pieces/insufficient pieces/insufficient material/dead position/lack of material etc.

	brainiac11235:	May 13th, 2012 at 18:39 GMT		3 points
	You're missing a double flag fall (when both players have run out of time before the arbiter is made aware of the situation), which is a draw.

	banakeg:	Nov 24th, 2012 at 09:29 GMT		2 points
	Missing: Draws: Double flag fall, 2 minute rule, running out of time with opponent having insufficient material for checkmate, illegal moves with opponent having insufficient material for checkmate. (bonus) adjudication Losses: Illegal moves, (bonus) adjudication Default: Mobile phone goes up, (bonus) turning up too late

	More variations would be good. I had to look up alternative ways of saying the following because they weren't accepted: Same position 3 times 50 moves (no hyphen) Insufficient force No pieces left on board (same as above) Agree on a draw etc. Other people have already complained about this. I really think you should spend more time considering alternative answers or change this quiz to an option quiz (i.e. "pick the ways a chess match can end in: a win, a loss, a draw").
