The game of chess not only has strategy but it has potential too. Being left with a bare king for one side without a resignation is rare, being left with only a king for each player is a draw. Can chess end with two kings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chess can and does end with just two kings left on the board. This would be a draw result as checkmate can not be achieved with just a King. Chess games will rarely, if ever, reach a position with just two kings with a draw or resignation<\/a> almost always declared prior to this position.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A game will be forced to end in a draw even before the position of two remaining kings comes into place, if other specific pieces<\/a> are left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have lost every piece on the board with the exception of you King, it is a position known as ‘Bare King’. There are only two possible outcomes in this scenario, as a bare king can not force checkmate <\/p>\n\n\n\nBare King is when you only have the King left in Chess.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
