perpetual check on chess.com

I call B.S. Everyone knows the L.A. Times is a pro-lemur shill rag.

I should have known space hibernation was part of the lemur agenda.

Absolutely, Perpetual is draw because of the threefold repitition rule ........

I saw a game where svidler was playing a lady and the position was repeated four or five times, svidler did not claim a draw, he lost later !

I never knew lemurs hibernated! Thanks, ivandh!

Just one of the many secrets they want to keep from us.

They are snoozing their way to world domination as we speak.

There is no such thing as perpetual check, because the players will die eventually, so the checks would run out if they tried to check perpetually and never claim the draw. There's also the heat death of the universe too, so no way that perpetual check will ever happen.

i have lost to perpetual checking acouple of times to those that only use  that to win theres games and i have used it a few times when i can use it and when i took a chance and won in the end game

That's because this thread was made over one year ago, and has mysteriously been resurrected 

Somebody typed "lemurs" into the Search box and this was the only result ...

Since the game was played long ago and finished....:

Could black have won playing Be5? (And after that 'searching' for mate...)

YOu should click the Draw button. If they have repeated the position 3 times(not in a row) then it will be a forced draw.

I played this friendly game in the Live server. After 35...Nd8 we reached the same position for the third time or so I thought. While I was checking the move list to verify, my opponent moved, after which I pressed the "Draw" button expecting the game to end, but it didn't, it was just a draw offer.

What happened?

Pressing the "Draw" button before my opponent's move would the game have ended? I was not aware that a draw by repetition had to be claimed immediately in order to be enforced.

Wow, year old thread resurrected. Does this mean the lemurs are out of hibernation?

Gill resurrected this thread?

Holy thread resurrection catwoman!

I think this thread is a good demonstration of perpetual check!!

Stuff2Say starring in The re-resurrector!

Coming eventually to a theatre not too near to you!

Couldn't help it kleelof, it was a joke that clearly just had to be made! I liked yours too :)

5 minutes ago I threefold repeated a position and it didnt draw the game, since I had only like 10 seconds on my clock, my opponent kept on playing and won the game after 20fold repetition...fun times
