Hi everybody,

it seems i can't get my head around the stalemate by repetition. In an end game i made 3 times in a row the move Rg7-Rg6 but the game didn't ended there.

What did i understand wrong?

The threefold repetition rule is not when one player moves back and forth.

The threefold repetition rule is achieved when the same board position occurs three times.
