Glossary Chess / Term
Unremitting attack on a king, without checkmate. Under some rules this may result in a draw.
When a player puts the opponent in check, and the check could be repeated endlessly, the game will be declared a draw by repetition. This tactic can be resorted to as a form of insurance in a losing position. Often shortened to perpetual.
