Can I resign without losing points + draw by rep.

Hi,

I've started a game with someone I suspect to be a cheater, we both only made one move. Is it too late to resign without losing points?

My other question is in regards to loss by repetition. On a couple of games I've tried drawing by repetition. Both me and the opponent made the same back and forth move like 10 times in a row, with the same piece (moving our kings from A to B, B to A, A to B, etc)

Each time I tried offering a draw but it wouldn't auto draw after I press it. I thought that's how it worked. Any ideas?

It seems ridiculous to suspect someone with a rating of ~1400 and a 60% winrate to be gaining any advantage from cheating. You can assume he is not.

If you reach the same position 3 times and press draw, the draw should be ended as a draw. It's really about positions, not about the moves that lead to them (although often the moves are repeated too). There are problems with the way draw-claiming works, but it does work ok as long as the thrice-repeated position has been reached by your opponent's move.

Below the submit button where the resign button usual is, there should be an abort button if you have just started the game. If you abort, you will not lose points unless its a tournament game.

In order to draw a game by repetition, a claim draw flag will appear in place of the offer draw flag when the same position has been repeated three times. I had the same problem you did and someone pointed it out to me.

Good Luck!

Weird, we really did make the same moves in a row as I described above many times and the offer draw button never changed. It was some months ago so I don't have the game to link to though

Did you look at your game archive? the game should be there.

Oh cool for some reason I thought non-premium couldn't see past 1-2 months archive.

But I tried looking and couldn't find that particular game. I just have too many games on record
