haha, you will have to 'claim' the draw but is possible your opponent decided to refuse the draw offer by keep playing
Terrible bug in chess.com!!!
Sort:
Yeah but don't most tournaments rules confirm a draw after 3 repetitions?
You should click on a claim button in some way or another

no, in the tournament you still have to claim it, by seeing the arbiter/TD
Yahoo chess has poisoned these young people's minds with their auto claim.
Pretty sure FICS and ICC don't auto claim. Not sure about playchess. What about gamecube?

Against people, if you press draw and it is a 3 fold repetition, it will automatically be a 'claim' and therefore it will be a draw.
I'm pretty sure it works that way because I've drawn games like that, here, on live chess.
Don't know why the computer would behave different. (you certainly had the 3fold going on..)

Suggest you refer it to admin: I had a 3 move draw a few months ago and the system worked OK automatically. What do the laws of chess say?

My guess is your opponent claimed the draw. As previously stated the laws of chess are to claim the draw. See 9.2
The site uses a slightly different method. http://support.chess.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=141
So your opponent can negate your correct claim by moving, especially through premove or conditional move, before you can click the button. http://www.chess.com/forum/view/suggestions/correct-draw-claiming

Yeah, I suppose it's more of a terrible crustacean than a terrible bug. And yes, it is that, and so much more. No wait, I mean less.
