The flaw is your lack of knowledge on the rules of chess. You have to *claim* a draw with 3-fold repetition. You can do that by hitting the draw button when that situation arises.
there is a big flaw

thanks.. by the way, I would urge you not to conclude anything about my knowledge of the rules of the game. As i said, I am new to the site and I didn't know that there IS a button for claiming a draw there. I thought, like the normal computer chess games the system would declare it a draw by itself. I would certainly notice it now in my next game.

"international rules say that if both the players continue playing the exact same moves for three times consecutively, the game would be declared as a draw"
Well, that's not correct, so I "concluded" you didn't know the rule that the player to make the move that repeats a position thrice, needs to claim the draw to the arbiter before making the move. Otherwise, it's not declared a draw, unless of course players mutually agree to a draw.
Ouch. pwn'd.

HAW! Did anyone take a look at the game? The OP and opponent started repeating the move on move #23 and continued repeating the same move until the OP ran out of time on move #95. If they'd specified a non-zero time increment they'd still be playing!

The real mystey is why White didn't just play 24.Rxe4 . After 24...Rxf1+ 25.Kg2 White has a Rook and a Knight to Black's lone Rook.

Haha, that game was hilarious.
Like, seriously, I shudder to imagine the % of inaccuracies in that game. :P
If I am not wrong... international rules say that if both the players continue playing the exact same moves for three times consecutively, the game would be declared as a draw. I have joined the site today only and was not aware of the 10 min rule and hence, tried to play for a draw using the above mentioned rule because I didn't have much time left. To my surprise, the game just moved on... both of us, the players, repeated our moves as it is for like 20-25 times but the game didn't stop. That is a bug and should be treated. Kindly clarify on the same.
