Your uncle is wrong. <p> A bare king is only a draw if the person who gave the player the bare king has insufficient mating material. <p> Sufficient mating material is a queen, a rook, a knight and bishop, or two bishops. A pawn is considered sufficient mating material because it can become a queen. <p> - Sam
