scarves look really nice and comfy, especially when two people share a scarf, but I live in a warmer climate and it's never really cold enough to wear a scarf so I've never had the opportunity to try one so idk what it's really like.

>>9010Did you see the press conference after last game? Magnus is really upset that he can't shake this guy off. Also I didn't even know you could draw in chess….

>>9013I think if you go 50 moves without a piece being captured it's a draw.

No.9018
>>9013There are actually several ways for a draw to occur in chess! It's called "remis" where I'm from and you can try to have the game end in a draw when you have no chance of winning!
For example the game ends in a draw if one player has no legal moves available to him during his turn! That usually occurs when a player is left with only his king and the other player positioned his pieces in such a way that no matter where the king moves he'd be in check! You're not allowed to move your king into check so that player would have no moves available to him and the game ends in a draw!
Beginners often make the mistake of boxing the opponent's king in like that when they are trying to chase him down and end up with a draw on their hands instead of winning the game!
A similar situation where a draw occurs is where neither player can checkmate the other, for example when there's only kings left on the board! Another frequent beginners mistake is loosing your rook to the opponent's king while trying to chase him down with it!
Although usually if you're playing casually the player who has no chance of winning anymore will usually give up instead of forcing you to chase down his king…
Other situations that I know of when a draw occurs is when the pieces on the board are in the same positions three times throughout the game, to prevent infinite loops and the 50 moves rule that
>>9015 mentioned where the game is basically in a stalemate.
I've read a lot about chess when I was a kid but I never joined a club or anything, I only ever play it with my grandpa and very rarely with my friends if there's a chess board around.

>>9217There's just a lot going on in the image. The walls are all covered in weird scratches, Nitori is grabbing her tie like she's going to choke her. Their stares are disturbing as well cause they're looking at the viewer, and their expressions also seem to contrast each other. The colouring style in general appears to be violent, it's very unique but anxious too in how many lines go into it.

>>9270Go to lichess.org (not chess.com its horrible), play and lose as much as you can. Remember that you learn less from winning than you do from losing. Learn to read chess notation and a couple of openings. I learned most of this from Wikibooks whose Chess book (
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chess) is great and they have others for more specific parts of the game like opening theory.
