I play black

Thanks

It never appeared - I was watching for it  - I understand I need to claim it

Thanks for your reply

It should be a draw by the same position 3 times

Q to c1 on move 30 is not a win on my planet

C5Warrior

No, it shouldn't. The same position never even appears twice let alone three times. Playing the move Qd8+ three times does not mean that the same position hs appeared three times...

C5Warrior

30...Qc1+ is absolutely winning.

Sorry I meant to place the start at move 30 and I meant to play 33.Kh3 before making those notes in the first variation. I don't know how to edit it now, or if it's even possible.

Now I see it C5Warrior - thanks for going to the trouble - my apologies

C5Warrior

More importantly though, do you understand why you couldn't claim the draw?

I have to take another look - need some time later

Ok - I looked - my fault - I see it now

Thank you once again!
