  <p>From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty-move_rule" rel="noreferrer">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The fifty-move rule in chess states that a player can claim a draw if no capture has been made and no pawn has been moved in the last fifty moves (for this purpose a "move" consists of a player completing their turn followed by the opponent completing their turn).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The last capture was made by white at move 28. (Rgxg6), so the game is declared a draw on move 78.</p>

Body: <p>I was practicing with stockfish level 8, having two rooks in the endgame whereas stockfish has only one. At the 78th move, it was declared as a draw. But, it was not a stalemate. Can anyone please help me, finding out why is this a drawn match ?</p>

  The game ended because of the **50-Move-Rule**.
  
  From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty-move_rule):
  
  > The fifty-move rule in chess states that a player can claim a draw if no capture has been made and no pawn has been moved in the last fifty moves (for this purpose a "move" consists of a player completing their turn followed by the opponent completing their turn).
  
  The last capture was made by white at move 28. (Rgxg6), so the game is declared a draw on move 78.
