Unusual Chess Draw Agreement

Unusual Chess Draw Agreement

A unique occurrence in chess history transpired in 1975 when Tony Miles and Stewart Reuben mutually agreed to a draw without making any moves, resulting in a rare 0-0 outcome instead of the typical 1-0, 0-1, or ½-½. The arbiter, faced with this unprecedented scenario, opted to award 0 points to each player rather than declare a draw.
