This is a true test of chess ability.

1. Checkmate.
2. Stalemate.
3. Draw owing to insufficient mating material.
4. Draw by invocation of the 50-move rule.

Am I missing something, here?

The question seems a bit ambiguous. But anyhow:

5. Draw by perpetual check
6. Draw by threefold repetition
7. Draw by agreement
8. Loss on time (if using clocks)
9. Resignation

I don't know the Official Laws; are there actions that could cause a player
to forfeit a game?
