if you duplicate a king move 3 times isn't it a draw?

I thought that was a rule?

If you repeat a post three times, it is called spamming the forum.

Nope, it's not a *move* that needs to be repeated three times, it's the entire position that needs to be repeated three times.

Also note that the "entire position" includes castling and en-passant status

No way is this a draw. It would just make chess stupid; it only becomes a draw if both players cooperate in repeating the moves.

I remember playing some guy who was totally lost--you know, I had a rook and a queen and we both had some pawns lying around--and instead of resigning he started moving his king back and forth. I eventually realized that he was suffering from a misapprehension of the kind people are talking about here. While he was being checkmated, he went to chat and actually expressed surprise, mixed with a little outrage, that he had not created a draw.
Live and learn, I guess.
Duplicate your king move up to 25 times (without pawn move or capture by both parties), then it is draw.
This would be a draw
It's not the move but the position(shake my head). Otherwise anyone who would want a draw in chess could play nf3, ng8 back and forth
I play Pirc and a playing for a draw against someone who is rated a bunch of points higher isn't a bad game. One must plan early, though; Draws don't just fall in your lap. Especially playing black.

It's been a long-known issue that grandmasters will sometimes pre-arrange a draw because they can't be bothered playing so they play a game like the one a few posts above.
There are also known opening lines that lead to a draw by repetition.
I think I've also seen stalemate in 10 moves but it's contrived, and you can also of course contrive to reach a draw by insufficient material.
It's not an 'issue'. You're underestimating the amount of effort it takes to play 6-hour games on consecutive days
