S move repetition

Last updated on Tue, 10/04/2011 at 4:37pm.

The 3 move repetition occurs when the position as a whole is repeated three times. If this occurs in a chess game, it would be considered a draw if it is claimed.

It is unfortunate when one plays chess online they cannot call a draw without the opponent being in agreement. Everyone keeps telling me to hit the draw button, but I don't see a button for online chess playing that forces the 3 position draw. Am I missing something??  They refuse to discuss the situation in the chat, ignore you, and continuing making moves. One has no recourse but to continue the game to prevent a loss, and report the match.Cool

Ha, I claimed this against my dad and he had a tantrum. I let him feel that he had won while knowing he hadn't achieved a valid victory.
