Draws are codified by various rules of chess including [[Stalemate|stalemate]], threefold [[Repetitions|repetition]], and the [[Fifty-move Rule|fifty-move rule]]. A draw also occurs when neither player has [[Material#InsufficientMaterial|sufficient material]] to [[Checkmate|checkmate]] the opponent or when no sequence of legal moves can lead to checkmate.
Players may further [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draw_by_agreement agree to a draw], the side to move may not only claim, but offer a draw, the other side may accept or decline - in computer chess, conform to a protocol and considering [[Game Phases|game stage]], late [[Endgame|endgame]] [[Material|material]] configuration, [[Score|score]] history and forecast.
