Shouldn't the game have drawn automatically by repitition?

Avatar of Vertmouron

Through repetition, a game will only be drawn if one of the opponents requests it, in which case, the draw will be mandatory.  Otherwise, there`s nothing to prevent the game from going on.

Oh, I didn't know that. So if my opponent requested it, it would be a draw nomatter if I accepted it or not?

So it is automatic draw if someone draw offers and it isn't accepted.

 

Got it!

it's only an automatic draw if the moves are repeated thrice fold and a competitor submits a request for a draw that is unreciprocated by the opponent.

Not the moves have to be repeated but the position.

Right, repetition of position is the key. And for it to be the same position, you need not only to have the same pieces and pawns on the same squares, but it needs to be the same player to move, and any possibilities regarding castling and en passant captures need to be identical.

 

I hope chess.com has implemented all of that?
