Draws
Sort:
If you timeout but you had material,while your opponent only had the king and a knight is it still considered a draw for timeout even tho there are some positions where the person with the Knight could win?
Yes it is
You cannot force it. They would simply move their king until 50 move or three move kicked in. Thus the draw.
I meant if one of the players had one pawn and gets boxed cause of it and can get checkmated by the other person with the knight
I don’t think you can win that way. It’s a draw.
In FIDE, it's a win for the player with a knight vs pawn if the player with the pawn runs out of time. Doesn't matter which pawn, it just has to promote to rook, bishop or knight to allow a help-mate. On chess sites, where it's timeout, a knight for the player with time is only draw, since a knight or bishop alone can't force checkmate. Although a help-mate is still possible if the opponent has pieces (except if it's only queens), chess sites don't count both sides' material and therefore N vs ~ with black timeout is a draw.
