Draw?!??
Sort:
Could anyone help me figure out how this game was a draw?
The sequence of moves doesn't matter, it's about if the position on the board is repeated exactly (including whose turn it is to move, en passant, castling possible etc.).

benws, i think he was black, thats why. Anyway, It was a computer, why not back up a few moves, retreat your king, and pretend it didn't happen?
Thank you all for helping me.
Why a draw.

I thought to draw by repetition it had to be the exact same positions...
I learnt something today.
Thanks for posting :)
It has to be the exact same position. Look at move 7,9 and 11
