I never heard of that rule in my life. Maybe you're talking about the 50-move-rule?

(If no piece is captured and no pawn was moved for the last 50 consecutive turns, the game ends in a draw, which one can claim by clicking the 'Draw' button.)

It was discussed in Bobby Fischer's My 50 Memorable Games.

In Live Chess, the 'Draw' button is generally used to offer your opponent a draw, which may be accepted or declined. However, in the instance of Three-fold Repetition, you can use the 'Draw' button to claim a draw, without your opponent having an option to decline.

 

Once the position has repeated three times, make your move then click on the 'Draw' button. This ends the game as a draw.

In online or turn-based chess, once the position is repeated three times, make your move.  Now, on the screen for that game, just below the notations box there will be text for you to click on that says 'claim game'. Click on that to claim the draw.  This method also works for the 50-move rule, which states that the game may be drawn if 50 moves (2 ply) are played with no captures and no pawn moves.

I've used the 50 move rule 2 or 3 times.  it's pretty rare, and you have to be on your toes to get the moves in before the clock runs out.

just pulled this off with a player that was 1400+. not sure why he made me do all 50 moves; rook+king vs rook+king is usually a draw anyway.  Even if the clock ran out it would have been a draw.

In bullet, blitz and rapid chess (without increment) many players play on trying winning on time. That's what your opponent wanted. In the last seconds before making the claim he could also try to attack your rook with his rook... And in a 10+0 you should be comfortable with such a loss, else you would have choosen a time controls with increment. But even there some guys play on...

This is one of those times that chess.com could use a thumbs up emoticon like FB.

Andy/Tony/Omar would have hated that though :-)
