Forgive my intrusion -

I do not understand this whole line of discussion. Chess is a game of
either a win or lose, much like war; one side win, or one side losses.
Though I have played chess (in the pass) and have drawn many games, I have
always considered it a win or loss and the scoring comes down to material;
right? 

p = 1, K = win, Q = 9 . . . and so on.

If either side has no material then neither side gains a point, right?

Please, again, forgive my intrusion; I just needed to get a better
understand of what is being discussed and why.

Ken.
