I am not seeing the claim draw button in one of my tournemant games. I have repeated moving my king to the sam square 4 times (d4) and another square 3 times as well (d3). Ibhave offered draw twice now and no luck. First time was on my home computer and this time wae on the droid app. What am i missing here, i have never seen "claim draw" under the notations box. Thanks, Jon Btw love the site and the phone app!

"Once the position has repeated three times, make your move then click on the "Draw" button. This ends the game as a draw."
Note the site's draw is one ply later than OTB.

"9.2 The game is drawn upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by a repetition of moves):
a. is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or
b. has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move.
Positions as in (a) and (b) areconsidered the same, if the same player has the move, pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and the possible moves of all the pieces of both players are the same.
Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en passant can no longer be captured in this manner. When a king or a rook is forced to move, it will lose its castling rights, if any, only after it is moved."
