Chess Terminology

From our last post, we received one helpful reminder from on of our readers and this led me to check out for the first time the web definition of the term "book draw". Wikipedia has one good page meant for inquiries like this.

Book draw is

"An endgame position known to be a draw with perfect play. The name reflects that traditionally the analysis has been found in the chess endgame literature, but in simplified positions (currently six pieces or fewer) computer analysis in an endgame tablebase can be used."

We all know what a book draw is but it helps if we know what are the elements contained in it. And here I did not find any web entries for such queries.

Here is the page to go to for your Glossary of chess - Wikipedia.
