Repetition problem
Sort:
i had a game were me and the opponent had both the same pieces but i was in a winning position about to win a pawn on next move. My opponent decided to keep checking me but every check was different and it went on for 3 or 4 turns then it came out as a draw. Why did it draw when i moved the king to a different square every time??

It's triple repetition of position and moves to get to those positions don't matter.
It was the same position, with all the pieces on the same squares, and same side to move after the following moves by white: 50, 52, and 54
It would be interesting to know what was black's plan in this position. Peacefully repeating moves with no attempt to try to win, and then complaining about draw in the forums seems a bit inconsistent.

but i was getting checked and couldnt do anything else than moving my king
Can someone explain to me why this is a draw? This game was an epic comeback!

Stalemate. It's black to move, black isn't in check, and black has no legal moves. That is a draw by stalemate.
