Perpetual Check - your way to a Draw

The Perpetual Check can save you half a point when your chess position is bad and you are losing. Then there is no other way to save the game. In the following positions the opponent has more material (pieces) and is going to win or you will get checkmated soon. Your only chance is to force a draw with repeated checks.
