I repeated Ke2-Kf1  3xs, isn't that an automatic draw?  Thanks

only if your opponent does the same move 3x as well...

are you talking about live chess?? one or both players has to claim the draw, and the position needs to be repeated three times. In a game too you have to claim the draw

Avatar of bondiggity

No. The position has to be repeated 3 times, not your move.

Stalemate is a specific kind of draw in which a player is not in check but cannot move any pieces.  3 repeated moves is not a stalemate.

Stalemate starts with a "S" and a draw with a "D" get a clue....
