Hi everyone. In a recent game, I reached a clearly drawn position (R vs. R plus I had one pawn but it was blocked by the king and could not be budged). I offered a draw at move 58 but my opponent instead decided to try and run out my clock, as I was lower on time than he was. The game proceeded for another 57 moves with no progress being made (no captures and no pawn moves). I kept going because I thought I would get a draw after 50 moves, but that never happened. I thought the game draws after 50 moves with no progress, how come that didn't happen?
