Please fix this obvious error


You have to hit the draw button the same way you have to call an arbiter to claim a draw by repetition.

Thanks for your support Piya:) But in my opinion it should be done by engine, not by setting up or not. In my opinion chess rules are clear. Draw is a draw. That's all

I real game yes, I agree. I have to call an arbiter. But why should I got the draw button here? I don't understand this. When I'm doing checkmate should I also hit any button??? Of course not. So why when it's draw I have to do this?

*shrug*. It's intentional or it would have been changed years ago. I'm just telling you how to do it.

+1. If we're using confirmation buttons (to simulate verbal announcements), then let's use that for all actions. And, death to premoves, too! 😀

Ok. Thanks for your answers. But I still think that it should be done automatically. The same like checkmate

The last thing is if you do hit the draw button and the server recognizes that there's a three fold repetition, it will end in a draw.

Ok, now I know. Thanks. But please understand me... If there is the time pressure it is really difficult situation. The last seconds in the game... You have for example 3 seconds... then 2... then 1... Time is very precious in such a situations.

Wait, you're actually accepting this in a civil manner? I knew people like you existed on the Internet!

It should NOT be automatic because the FIDE rule does not make it automatic. The draw is claimable but not compulsory if neither player claims the draw. (Unlike the quintuple repeat and 75 move rules). If an arbiter were watching and saw threefold repeat, she would correctly not end the game unless the draw was claimed. Since the server acts as the arbiter here, neither should the draw be automatic.
