Hello...
I was left with
my King and my Bishop . My opponent had only his Queen, he
placed me in check without capturing my Bishop.
I started to
count the moves for the 50 move rule and he stated I still had
a live Bishop and was not able to start the count, but because
he chose not to threaten my bishop and or capture it but instead
put me in check by way that I could only move my King out of
check.
As per the 50 move rule, when should I have been allowed
to start the count?
Thanks, Ron ...

Hello Ron,
The rules of Chess state the following:
"Within the last 50 consecutive moves that have been made by
each player without the movement of any Pawn and without the
capture of any piece, the game is drawn, upon a correct claim by
the player having the move"
So, the 50 move rule should have started to count as soon as you
were left with the King and Bishop regardless of how many checks
are produced. If your opponent captures your Bishop then the 50
move rule begins counting again.
