Not sure why this thread was in my notifications when the last post was a year ago, my bad.

That's easy. You are still following the thread. Any time you post on a topic, you automatically are following the forum topic until you uncheck the the box the says "Follow" in the bottom right corner of the desktop version of the site.

But, there had been no activity since August prior to today's notification.
Less easy to explain if you'll read what he wrote.

you must take repetition into account while playing

Someone might have deleted a post which initially triggered the notif. That's all.

As for the 50-75 move rule, I think it's funny that it varies based on whether it's claimed or observed by the arbiter lol, if you are going to pick a number and stick with it, when that number hits the game is over and any continuing beyond that regardless of arbiter intervention is basically an illegal game at that point, no different than a game "accidentally" continuing past a mutually missed check or checkmate or any illegal move by that matter. 75 is a wild number. I mean it could easily be 50-100, 50-50, or 100-100, but 50-75 is laughable.

Chess community people who made this rule will burn in hell. You are fools, SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER stupid people who made this rule and not removing it. This rule should surely be removed it's ruining the gaming environment, it's taking out the fun of the game. I have suffered many times because of this rule i have lost many winning matches and there would many people like me who have suffered because of this. This is my request everybody wants this rule to removed from chess so pls pls remove this draw by repition/draw by cheating rule.

If it is not a rule games go on forever and ever, I personally like the rule.

No, I think King_Prakhar is saying, if someone triggers a move that only allows the opponent to keep repeating his/her move because of that trigger, then the person who did NOT trigger the reptitive moves should win by repitition rather than it be a draw.

It's perfectly fair. Eventually a game would end by the fifty move rule if draw by repetition couldn't be claimed anyway, in some positions.

In this position, the white queen goes back and forth checking the king with no escape. Is this fair? Yes.

Billions ain't suffering bruh. One, only 8 billion people are alive, and less than a billion play chess, two, you should get good and not let people force a draw, and once you become a GM, come back.
