I hate the threefold repetition rule

Oh, and here's a reason it's important - It is another way to add depth and complexity to the game, and to punish people for making a mistake allowing you to get 3 fold repetition.

Bruh. I just don't like the three repetition rule cause i once get fooled by my friend bcs of this rule and dude, he was about to lose his queen(forced trade or whatever that's called). That's just why i don't like this 3 i dunno what rule.

OK. Let's let the people end it in draw legally after making a blunder and end it in draw. If we are gonna cry after every blunder and end the game 1/2 for both sides, than why r we playing this thing?

Do you not like forks because you blundered one once? Do you think they should be removed? "I blundered so I think this rule should be removed" seems a bit silly.

Ending the game in draw when u r losing is also silly my man.

But you aren't losing if you can force a draw! If you can force a checkmate when you're down material, does that mean you were losing?

Why would i be forced by the algorithm to end it in a draw instead of winning by an advantage?

You blundered, you get a worse result. This isn't hard to understand lol

Out of curiosity, are you older or younger than 8?

Dude, think. U r eating his queen and about to checkmate. And what ur opponent does? Ends it in a forced draw.

Then you must have blundered, and should be punished for your blunder.

But you made a mistake. You left your king vulnerable to perpetual check. You got laser focused on the "attack the other players king" half of the game and forgot the other half, protecting your own king. Because you made that mistake you don't get to win. That's the punishment. You don't lose, but you don't get to win either.

Let's say its a punishment. Why do both sides get 1/2? Chess is not win-win or in other words 50-50. There's draw in very RARE cases. OK. Let's imagine u and I r playing a friendly chess match. U got a perfect posision. If u move ur pawn one square forward, it will be forking. Queen or king. But what do i do, repeating same move 10 times and ending it an automatically draw. Both of us gets 50-50. Will u be angry bcs u were perfectly forking and getting my pawn? Do u think that i deserve half points? Ask that yourself.

I would've checked to make sure that you didn't have a repetition. Just like I would've checked to make sure you didn't have a countertactic. The reason that it ends in a draw is this - Who SHOULD win? There isn't really a deserved victor. Take this position:

If the game ends in a draw when you are losing, that simply means you were not losing.
