How to claim draw by repetition in android app ?

Hi, I was playing a game from my Android phone.

After black move #40, we reached a "draw by repetition" position (see black moves #36, 38 and 40). 

So, I clicked "offer draw". But afterwards my opponent could continue playing. 

How is working the claim for "draw by repetition" ?

If anyone would have a little time to spare on the subject, could we play a not-rated game for testing purposes ?


Cheers,

I just played a test game, and I was definitely able to make a draw occur by "offering" the draw on a 3rd repetition. Not sure what happened in the case of this game though. :\

hi DeepGreene :-)

Thanks for your test and reply. What happens if the opponent has conditional moves set - or if he moves in between the moment I play my move and the moment I offer the draw ?

You'd have to offer draw when your device showed the true, current state of the board. What I found was that, if you don't, the draw offer gets an error dialog, saying that you've got to refresh the game.

ha ! I remember I had such a message ! My opponent probably played before I choose "offer draw" then... 

OK, thanks again.

Recently I played this game:

I played the last 10-15 moves on my phone, and I wasn't able to claim the draw either, having to wait for my opponent to do it...
