HOW TO CLAIM A DRAW ON A ONLINE MATCH GAME BY REPEAT POSITION?

Sort:
RichColorado

I'm in a game right now and I had a three time repeat position I made my move and offered a draw. Nothing happened.

I thought it would be an automatic draw? I guess I am too old to learn this.

Do not make any comment or suggestions about the game since it is a group match game and IT IS NOT ALLOWED.

Here is the link of the current game.

The position has only repeated twice.

You are correct. I click on each move and I counted. Thanks #51 didn't count.

I thought the 1st time was move 51,  53 was the first and then now 55.

Thanks for the comment. I am going to go to the game again.

On move 51, your king was on b4. On 53 and 55 it is on c4.

I played on my phone and had the same problem a few days ago. I hit the draw and nothing happen.  Chess.com needs to fix this feature  3 fold repeat position needs to automatic.

Show a link to the game.

Chess.com needs to do nothing of the sort. 3-fold repetition is not automatic OTB and neither should it be here

This has happened to me a few times in the past. You just gotta click the draw button a few times.

It has gotten better . . .
