Here are a few moves from one of my recent games :-
37.Qa5+ Kc8 38.Qa8+ Kc7 39.Qa5+ Kc8 40.Qa8+ Kc7 41.Qa5+ Kc8 42.Qa8+ Kc7 43.Qa5+ Kc8 44.Qa8+ Kc7 45.Qa5+ Kc8
Shouldn't this have been a draw?Or probably I don't know the rules of draw by repetition.
If the same position arises three times in a game (no need to be consecutive) then either player can claim a draw.
on this site "claim" = hitting the "offer draw" button at the relevent moment.
Someone has to claim the draw - it won't do so automatically.
That can be a draw, but not automatically. A draw by threefold repetition must be claimed by one of the players. To claim a draw on this site, just press the offer draw button.
Thanks guyz.I did not know I have to claim a draw.
