Generally in Go 'draw' does not exist.
The exceptions are non-fractional komi, and the exceedingly rare triple ko, which does not technically cause a draw, just an infinite game. Which is generally resolved as a 'draw' by mutual agreement. There are interesting rule variants to exclude the option of infinite games, but they have weird side-effects.
I'd feel confident saying that normal go (19x19 japanese rules with 6.5 komi) does not have draws.
- ameminator 5y agoHey, where's the love for triple Ko?
- aurelianito 5y agoAFAIK, triple ko games are usually played again, and they are extremely rare.
