And just as promised, Cueball has scored this particular conversation, giving it a '''[[#Draws in chess|½-½]]''', as he believes that this is a [[#Draw in conversation|drawn conversation]]. The reasons for the draw may be due to agreement (both parties walk away afterwards), a stalemate (the conversation isn't going anywhere), draw by repetition (both players have played the same moves over and over again, and cannot improve their position - probably if "Fine" had been repeated more times), 50-move rule (the conversation has been going on fruitlessly for too long - unlikely here since it is only 4 dialogues long), insufficient material (they’ve no more material to continue the conversation) or something else. There could be some similarities between [[#Chess games and conversations|chess games and conversations]]. In general, see more under the [[#Trivia|trivia]] section. | And just as promised, Cueball has scored this particular conversation, giving it a '''[[#Draws in chess|½-½]]''', as he believes that this is a [[#Draw in conversation|drawn conversation]].
