Look at this game. I repeatedly claimed a draw and it did not give it to me.

That's because the 50 move rule doesn't apply in your game. Whenever a pawn is moved or a piece is captured the count starts over.

No, over 50 bare king moves with no pawns.

NO.

" chess rules, if the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without the movement of any pawn and without the capture of any piece, the game can be declared a draw by either of the opponents."

How can you be rated almost 1700 and have something so basic so wrong?

From move 38 to move 117, my king was alone, had no pawns to move, so about 80 moves, 80 is greater than 50 last time I checked.

But pieces were captured and pawns were moved ....the count starts over when that happens. You having a bare king got nuthin to do with.

Are you trolling? Seriosly you are being very thick about it.

The rule is "by each player without the movement of ANY pawns". 

Your opponent moved pawns during that time.

The last pawn move was move 90 by your opponent.

Oh, okay, I looked it up, thought it was a straight 50 moves, I'm 62 and played that way since I was  a child, but you learn something new every day.

Over 50 moves between both players, consecutively. Also, one rule insists no pawn promotions either. No captures, no pawn promotions.

Evidently, pawn movement is also prohibited for 50 move rule to be applicable as well. I had thought it was just pawn promotion. Either way, your game did not go 50 moves with either of these conditions.

The 50-move-rule applies to chess.com.
