The server's programme cannot recognize the threefold repetition ... can this bug be fixed?

there is no automatic recognition of 3fold rep. You have to claim it yourself. The decision is up to you because you do not have to take it.

If a 3-fold repetition has occured, the board's interface usually changes the "Offer Draw" button into a "Claim Draw" button. Click on it to claim the draw. This behavior is  an attempt to mirror over-the-board chess, where you must claim the draw.

Oh, "God2", you are a newbird in Chess, I see. One of the laws of Chess says that if a position occurs after three consecutive or alternated moves on the chessboard, the player who must play has got a draw (1/2 - 1/2). Some programs do recognize this occurrence and state something like "Draw due to threefold rep" (notably at EDIT- other sites)Smile
