[edit] removed

I removed the following sentence

If both players' time runs out at the same time, then the game is a draw.

because my understanding is that as timed by a chess clock this is impossible. If someone knows this can happen (perhaps using timing other than a chess clock) then please restore it with an explanation of the conditions.

Compare the following from the rules given in the link:

11. When a player notices that his opponent's clock has fallen, he should stop both clocks and notify his opponent. If, in this process, his own flag falls, the game shall be declared drawn, unless both parties agree as to which flag fell first.

Hence it seems to be possible to have exactly that situation. \Mikez 16:58, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't think that exact situation is possible, as in your example one clock did fall before the other. Fetofs ^Hello! 21:53, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
