you have to claim the draw for repitition.. LIKE IN REAL LIFE.
In live chess it will follow the insufficient mating rule but if you had a pawn and your opponent knight and king, it is possible to mate by him using your pawn to help you mate, and it could be easily proven.
Three-fold repetition must claimed, both in OTB play, as well as in on-line (by clicking the draw button). It is not automatic.
As for the game, http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=7671658 , you had a pawn. If you played completely illogical moves, the pawn could restrict your king's movements in such a way that the knight and king could mate.
To put it simply, if you have other pieces on board apart from your king. a knight and king might be sufficient material to mate.
yeah if they're are any pawns left on the board for either side it is not a draw by insufficient material.
Why do I find it sinister when I see an abnormally large number of bishops on a board?
I how do you imagine to promote 6 Bishops with 8 pawns on the board?
Why has this site not been programed with the correct chess rules? I have just lost a game on time. However, my opponent only had a knight and his king therefore insufficient mating material which should result in a draw. Secondly there was a 3x repitition of moves which again should result in a draw.
Feedback welcome.
Kind regards,
