What is the meaning of "dead draw"? I heard the term &quot;dead draw&quot; a lot, but I don't know its meaning and when a position is &quot;dead draw&quot;.
A dead draw is  a position in which no player has any chance of winning.
Sometimes erroneously used in a position where theoretically someone could win but both players believe it is so basic and simple that neither will make a fatal mistake so the other player would win.
