在国际象棋中，和局（或称和棋，常简称和）是除了白方胜、黑方胜之外的一种可能的结局。传统上，在比赛中，比赛双方可以从一场和局中个获得半分。（胜者得1分，负者不得分）。不过，也有人反对和局的结果。

最常见的情况是，当比赛双方都不能获胜的时候，会出现和局。很多规则都会导致这种和局。这些规则包括：逼和（将要走棋的一方没有合法的走法）、三次重复局面（棋盘上完全相同的情况出现三次）和50步规则（在连续50步中没有吃子，兵也没有移动）。 在双方都没有足够的棋子将死对方的时候，或者都不能通过合法的走子将死对方的时候，也判为和局。

In chess, a draw is the result of a game ending in a tie. Usually, in tournaments a draw is worth a half point to each player, while a win is worth one point to the victor and none to the loser.

For the most part, a draw occurs when it appears that neither side will win. Draws are codified by various rules of chess including stalemate (when the player to move has no legal move and is not in check), threefold repetition (when the same position occurs three times with the same player to move), and the fifty-move rule (when the last fifty successive moves made by both players contain no capture or pawn move). A draw also occurs when neither player has sufficient material to checkmate the opponent or when no sequence of legal moves can lead to checkmate.
