How to prevent a draw by repetition of moves • page 1/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

My opponent made a draw against me when I was a rook up. He had his queen positioned so that he could constantly check me. Are there any practices on this website/the internet that help me train against this. I want to learn to recognize how I could prevent this type of situation. Does anyone have any tips, thank you!

I don't think we have a practice section about that, but it's called perpetual check. Maybe you can find studies about it, or some YouTube videos.

The soviet chess primer (book) covers a few common perpetual check patterns. But mostly it comes from experience.

avoiding them is like avoiding any other kind problems in chess i.e anayzing situation beforehand. There no special techniques you just have see the problems in your position that might allow such a draw

Perpetual check? More like perpetual heck! Looks like your opponent learned the art of the chess-twerk, constantly shaking you off with their queenly moves. Next time, bring your dancing shoes!

Remember, even Gary Kasparov drew games. So chin up, rook-wielding warrior!

Watch out for open positions and have some pawns ready!

Apologies. Just trying to lighten up the situation. I am no good for giving advice for this.

As others have mentioned, there are no "easy" ways to avoid perpetual checks besides calculating/experience.
Some things can help such as pawn structure, and not having your king out in the open but behind pieces.

The overwhelming majority of players are more (me...) or less weak in tactics. Avoiding perpetual is a tactics problem. Avoiding piece loss is a tactics problem as is much else.

Practice tactics.
