Draw
A game that ends without a winner.
A draw arises by stalemate, by perpetual check or threefold repetition, by agreement, or when neither side has enough material to mate. Stalemate occurs when the side to move has no legal move and is not in check. In the reference, a draw is an outcome that a defender may reach. A claim that a sequence wins must survive every drawing resource of the opponent.
