The final position occurred three times in that game: On move 30, 34 and 36. So the draw by repetition is correct.
they say my game was drawn

one question aside from this subject, when creating a tournament how do you control how many people are in each group?

You should look at the position on move 30, 34 and 36. It's the same, so there is a Draw by repetition of position. You shouldn't confuse this with perpetual check, that is check on the same position 3 times in a row.

Your first point is correct, your second one is not.
"Perpetual check" is a rule that does not exist anymore in the FIDE laws of chess, but it used to be that you could claim a draw if you could show (to the arbiter) that you could go on checking your opponent forever, and there was no legal way for your opponent to get out of the checks.
Check on the same position three times in a row is probably three times the same position, and otherwise it's nothing special.

Uhm... I thought a few years ago (round about the time rule 10.2 was introduced). I distinctly recall it being a rule. But now I'm Googling around, and Wikipedia only says that it used to be a rule, and the discussion page says that books from 1951 mention that it used to be a rule. That was before my time... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?title=Talk:Perpetual_check)

Surely a perpetual check would still end the game as drawn. Maybe it would be declared drawn under the repetition of position rule ?

Yeah, either that or the fifty moves rule (in those situations where the king is chased over the whole board).
But you have to make the moves first to claim, you can't stop the clock and show the arbiter that it's impossible for him to get out of the checks.

Actually, either player may stop the clocks in order to summon the arbiter but if the arbiter decides you didnt have a legit cause to do so you can get a penalty against you. Also, whoever stops the clocks , it must be their move. You cannot stop the clocks if its your opponents move.

one question aside from this subject, when creating a tournament how do you control how many people are in each group?
he should really post that somewhere else, like a forum called, "When creating a tournament, how do you control how many people are in each group?"
Or look at the FAQ.

itz drawn bawt.... yd u repetion? u shud of tried be4 u got the draw
can you translate tht to proper american english, please?

itz drawn bawt.... yd u repetion? u shud of tried be4 u got the draw
I'm guessing, "It's drawn but.... yd you repetition? u should of tried before you got the draw."
But i still have no idea what "yd" is.

That presents a situation where someone with a time advantage can deliver check, refusing to agree to a draw, not allowing the position to repeat, quite possibly inside the 50 move limit, until the other player's flag drops, thus winning on time. This rule should be reinstated.

the translation of the last part is:you should have tried before you got the draw.(read his sentence phonetic.)

Besides the 50 move rule and the threefold repetition rule, there's also rule 10.2, that allows you to claim a draw if you have just a few minutes left and the opponent isn't trying to win. I don't think there are any problems in practice.

Why'd... and repetition should be 'repeat', presumably, although you'd still need to add 'the position' to make it correct.
