RANDOM FORCED DRAW WTF???

jesus christ, *(&$ this. didn't realise im not allowed to have fun on chess.com? i had a winning position  but because of a few rook moves i got a popup saying "DRAW" i was about to start pushing my pawns and king forward, i just wanted to see what he was going to do with his rook but nope, this *#%^ &^#% ENGINE decided, oh u have 10 minutes left on a 15|10 game ??? you move your rook a few time i make draw for you without any warning GG.

IM THE BLACK SIDE

i actually wanted to play this endgame, ive never seen the engine drop the game and auto-draw except once or twice when me and my opponent litterly make the exact same moves 5-6 times in a row. this is unacceptable....

Please don't post profanity in the forums without adequately censoring it - I have now done so in your post above.

Your opponent was able to claim the draw because the exact same position had been repeated three times: games are never drawn because of an engine evaluation.

so does that mean the website actually offered him a draw for me, or did it just skip that and drop the game?

He probably claimed the draw. There's a button for it, that is available if your opponent starts repeating the position.

No, what happens is that the "Offer draw" button changes to "Claim draw" button if a draw by repetition is possible - the button doesn't change appearance or anything like that - your opponent has to recognise that's what's happened and click on the button to claim the draw. If they don't click on it, the game continues. If you make your move before they click on the "Claim draw" button and the position is no longer a repetition, the option of "Claim draw" reverts back to "Offer draw", and if they click on it then, the draw isn't given automatically.

who did i blame?? the rule, which i didnt even know about. wtf r u trying to act like the high and mighty &^% *(#&% u have almost 7000 games played.

You seem quite agitated about this. The threefold repetition is within the rules. It is your responsibility to know the rules. The amount of games you have played does not affect this rule.

Not knowing basic rules, quite common on big chess servers.

woah its my responsibility to know the rules woah man i think now im going to make sure to tell everybody else to read the rules and pray to the lord and savior jesus christ

yes it's your responsibility to know the rules. Their's a tab on chess.com for it if you want to https://www.chess.com/learn-how-to-play-chess

I can't wait for the moment someone does en passant against you .

Also no need to tell everybody else to read the rules. Most people learn the rules of the game they are going to play...

Ever tried playing a soccer game without knowing the rules first?

Obviously you have to know how to play to play.

Who needs to read the rules? I think this "discovery" and angry reaction makes a great lesson for future games!

Only through failure, pain, and misery can you truly embrace the power of the dark side.
