Are draws automatic in a 50 move 10 minute rapid game. I probably could have checkmated my game sooner, and that is on me. But I don’t think I replicated my position three times. Was the draw just the result of 50 moves?

Thanks,

You stalemated your opponent. You had at least 9 different moves to immediate checkmate but you didn't see any of them and your move left your opponent with no legal move.

It's a draw.
