There are three kinds of results in any game of Chess - wins, losses and draws. Let's take a look at every single possible result in Chess, and how its achieved.
In any game that is won, a player must also lose. So lets look at wins and losses together. In a tournament setting, a win is worth 1 point, and a loss is worth 0.
There are 4 main types of wins & losses, checkmate, timeout, resignation & forfeit. Let's take a look at all of these possibilities.
Draws are the most complex result in Chess. Because of the unique rules Chess possesses, some draws exist to prevent games from lasting forever.
