"When neither party can give checkmate, the game is drawn"
- Howard Staunton
About this Quote
This quote by Howard Staunton is referring to the video game of chess. In chess, the goal of the video game is to checkmate the opponent's king. When neither gamer can checkmate the other, the game is thought about a draw. This implies that neither player has actually won, and the video game is over. A draw can happen for a variety of factors, such as when both gamers have an equivalent variety of pieces, or when neither player can make a move that would lead to checkmate. A draw can likewise happen when both gamers agree to end the game without a winner. This quote by Howard Staunton is a reminder that a video game of chess can end in a draw, which it is a valid outcome.
