I had my king more than Draw by repetition and assumed that it would automatically be detected by this app. It was not detected and I ended up losing the game

To get a draw by repetition, the position of the entire board needs to be repeated. In your most recent loss, all you did was shuffle your king back and forth while your opponent made their moves.

It is very simple. It must be:

1) The EXACT same position

2) The SAME PLAYER TO MOVE

3) With the same LEGAL OPTIONS all 3 times.
