I just played a USCF rated game where my opponent had less than 5 minutes left but he was still notating. Since he notated on an electronic device, it auto-registers a draw for him when it is three-fold repetition. It did, but my opponent didn't notice and played on. A few moves later, my opponent got checkmated. Only then did he notice that the device registered a draw. Does this count as a win for me or a draw?
Thanks!
His notation device should not give notification of triple repetition of position. However, it has to be claimed, it's not automatic, and since your opponent did not claim it the checkmate is all that counts.
