Nope - Only a fool would think they are beaten. This could easily end in a draw. WHen it gets down to King only, the enemy has only a limited number of moves to finish you off until it would be called a draw.

PS THe rule - Fifty-Move Rule. If either player makes 50 consecutive moves without moving a pawn or making a capture (irreversible moves), either player may claim a draw. If neither player claims the draw, play continues (either player may still lose on time).

Draw by Repetition. If the same position occurs 3 times (not necessarily on consecutive moves) with the same player to move, either player may point this out and claim a draw. If neither player claims the draw, play continues (either player may still lose on time).

Stalemate. If a player has no legal moves on his/her turn, but is not in check, the game is over and the result is a draw.
