Draw Messages

During the game, Touch Chess will dis- play the word DRAW if a three-time rep- etition of position occurs, or if there has

been no pawn moved and no exchanges for 50 moves. When either of these situa- tion takes place, the rules of chess state that a player can claim a draw. If you wish, you can ignore the message and continue the game. When a stalemate is reached, the display will read STALE.

When an ‘=’ appears, it indicates you are in two human player mode. And lastly when an ‘!’ appears on the screen, you are being warned that one of your pieces is threat- ened with capture. (This is similar to the friendly "en garde" warning sometimes used by human players when they are attacking an opponent’s queen.)
