Andrew McHarg says
Andy as this rule is a Chess Scotland rule, adopted from FIDE. Does this man you disagree with Chess Scotland?
Joe
this is simply not true,
Again, Chess Scotland rule;
"the Arbiter may award the draw during further play or after a flag fall. The reasons for awarding the draw include:
c.
the opponent has not been trying to win on the board, but has been trying to win on time by making passive moves."
All the pieces could be on the board and could be a dead drawn position
Quote:I have to agree with the above. Time control is as much a part of the game as the pieces and the board. If you cannot manage it then you deserve to lose (or at least lose the full point) on time.

Quote:The rule is there to stop people trying to win on time in completely dead drawn positions e.g Rook V Rook. If there is any play left in the position the draw should never be given.
