Two-Fold Repetition is not a Draw

Threefold repetition is achieved when the same position is achived 3 times, not necessarily needing the same moves being repeated 3 times. If there's a game you're confused about, post the link and I can help point you in the right direction.

So this was your last played game that ended in a repetition draw.  It was indeed a threefold repetition.  Remember that repetition occurs when the same board position is reached; it does not have to be the exact same moves.

Repetition occurred after the following moves:

  • 91. Kf5
  • 93. Ra8
  • 95. Kf5

Thanks. I somehow missed the first instance when I was going through the game. Need to be more careful. Technical draw in any case, but my opponent would have run out of time had I not been so careless.
