Can your flag fall when waiting for the TD or do they ignore this?

You have to claim a 3-time-rep OTB...so why not here as well?

this is not true. People say this sometimes, nut this is certainly wrong

No, it is correct. Read the rules.

 

"9.2 The game is drawn upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by a repetition of moves): a. is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or b. has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move."

I'm sure advertisers would be willing to pay chess.com loads of money if regular users could choose to turn ads off!

You can't run a website of this size for free with no ads.

Errr.. I have had automatic draws due to repetition? Cant recall when, but I am very sure. This also once happend when I was behind and placed the other guy in check. He moved it, I checked again and this proces repeated a couple times and I got the pop up that it was a draw! (or am I missing something essential?)

@ElKitch: When a threefold repetition draw is declared "automatically" with a computer opponent, in reality the computer is instantly claiming the draw.
