Resolves YES if it is shown that Black can literally force a draw in chess. That is, Black can play in such a way that they are guaranteed neither to win nor to lose.

Neither player may resign.

Close date to be extended until it's proven one way or the other.

So for this question, we are talking about if white is adversarially trying to either win OR lose, can black still guarantee a draw, correct?

@jack Exactly. For example, Black would not be allowed to sacrifice a lot of material for a mating attack if there was no way to get a draw out of it.

@BoltonBailey the same question should also apply to white?

@Odoacre Good point
