Perpetual Check in Blitz

Sort:
szachmalpa

In a 3 min. blitz match, am I allowed to use perpetual check to run down the clock? For example, say I have 30 seconds left and my opponent has 15 seconds left and I have my opponent in perpetual check. Can I just use perpetual check to run out the clock? Also, does it matter if I have a losing position  or not?

Sure, if your opponent doesn't claim the draw after 3-move repetition.

Thanks, I did that, and my opponent claimed it violated the rules and said I should be banned.
