Claiming draw against 2 knights.

Hey! I know, that checkmating only with 2 knights is impossible when weakers side king moves correctly. So my question is, can I claim the draw without opponent in this situation?

as soon as the pawns are off the board you can claim a draw in your game

Cant claim draw if checkmate is still possible even if its highky unlikely.
Opponent might accept a draw but it cant be claimed.

King and two Knights can technically deliver mate... albeit not forced.



Therefore you can't claim a draw... unless the 50 move rule is reached!
Help : faq << always a handy reminder to folks.

I agree that a Draw cannot be claimed unless you use the 50 move rule. If there is a Pawn on the board, a Mate is possible. To not get mated, keep the King in the Center!

The point is that mate is possible without a pawn.
