Hivechess Tournament S15 R9 : Lets see some Draws

Hello everyone.
Round 9 was best so far for me. I only played 3 round and this is round with most games and time played (this round as well I left early).
All in all Season 15 was not most suitable for me regarding time. I was not able to participate in most rounds. The one that I played were good.
This round was fun. In last game there was nice stalemate for me.
I also look into other draws in this round. There were total of 5 draws in this round.

I played with @hannes-stoffel (hannes-stoffel)

So as you see I am already lost. As last resort I decided to tuck in the king and maybe try to get draw somehow.

Here @hannes-stoffel played b4 and and played g4. King was locked and I needed to get rid of the rook.

Next move was b4. It would be stalemate if he had took my rook on a6. ( I think I saw this later)

After another pawn move I moved rook to the a7 and he made one more pawn move which allowed me to get rid of rock.

Just went with check and after King takes rook it is stalemate which happened in the game. Also I could check king from seventh rank wherever it goes and draw is forced in this situation.

It ended stalemate and it was nice game. After this it was enough games for this round.

Another Stalemate.
@pokermaria (pokermaria) has white pieces and @rodrook (rodrook) has black pieces.

@pokermaria is clearly winning and @rodrook takes pawn on f7. His king is in the corner with no moves to go so he just needs to get rid off his rook. Here if white just pushed his rook on c7 to c8 it would be win.

Instead pawn takes rook and it is stalemate. Nice last move tactics by @rodrook.

This is the third stalemate.
@tin.aung.soe (TinAungSoe) has white pieces and @stranger27 (stranger27).

After king goes to h5 @stranger27 moves king to f5 an it is stalemate. Here black any move for black except f5 and f6 will continue the game.
I think this type of stalemates with Queen and King and King are happening more often.
You always have to watch out for the stalemate in this situations.
Sometimes playing fast can lead to mistakes.

This game was draw. It says 50 moves without progress.
@eniolw (eniowl) has white pieces and @maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm) has black pieces. Same material. Draw at 101st move.

There was one more draw between @b0s (Da_k1ng) and @pamboy27 (pamboy27). In this position they agreed to a draw. It was last game of the round so that was most probably the reason for this draw.

Good round.
Had fun.
Nice games.

Play chess and have fun.

Congrats to Ding Liren on becoming World Chess Champion.
Rook to g6 and declining draw by repetition was super move.
