No draw by repetition

I like just played against a very unsportsmanlike Egyptian. He could not win the game, but we came to a situation where he could force my move and as he had three minutes left and I two, we sat there making the same rounds of moves for five minutes, around 100 moves per person until my time was out. Most chess programs I've come across automatically calls it a draw when the same position is reached for the fourth of fifth time, isn't there anything like that here?

After the same position is reached the 3rd time, any player can claim the draw.

It's not automatic, just like it's not automatic in over the board play, it has to be claimed.

I believe there is a "claim a draw" option, but if there isn't then yes, this is a very major lapse in the live chess program.

You just have to click the draw button (the same one as for draw offers). If it's a claimable draw like with repetition etc., it will not be a draw offer but the game is immediately ended with draw.

Actually there should be a 50-Moves drawrules?

Perhaps there was such an option, though I don't think so. Didn't see it anyway.

You need to press the Draw button.
