Визначення та Значення "bare king"

What is a "bare king"?

A bare king in chess refers to a situation where one player only has their king remaining on the board, with no other pieces left. This can happen if the player’s pieces are all captured, leaving only the king. While a bare king cannot win the game, it can still be a key part of a draw in certain situations, such as when the opponent is unable to checkmate the king due to a lack of sufficient material. However, the game typically continues until one player is checkmated or a draw is declared.
