THE RULE THAT QUIETLY COSTS MORE POINTS THAN PEOPLE REALISE

The myth most players believe:
❌ Threefold repetition means "repeat the same move three times" ❌

That single misunderstanding loses hundreds of half-points and full points every weekend.

The truth:
☑️ Repetition has nothing to do with the moves you play ☑️

Repetition is the exact same POSITION appearing three times:
• Same pieces on same squares
• Same player to move
• Same castling rights
• Same en passant possibility

One capture or pawn move in the sequence and the position is gone forever. No draw.

✨ Tag someone who still argues it is "three same moves" ✨

You might just save their next tournament game.
