Usually in the past the game automatically drew. I didn't think of offering a draw assuming the game would do it for me.
it auto-draws when a stalemate occurs, I think thats the only time it will do that.
Once the 3 fold rep occurs you claim the draw by hitting the draw button. You aren't offering it, your opponent will not have a choice whether or not to accept it.

I have drawn by repitition already.....
I just played a gamewhere for almost 40+ moves I was checking the king.
I am curious as to why there was no draw by repitition, three-fold repitition, or perpetual check. Finally I got frustrated and threw the game but after almost 50 moves of checking why did it not draw?
