IIRC in Fide rules, in human tournaments, the referee can declare a game draw (regardless of what the players want) after 5 repetitions. Maybe that should be implemented here as well?
Drawn by repetition???
Sort:
that seems correct to me, the exact same position occurred on the board three times, afik it doesn't have to be back to back moves it doesn't matter who moved what pieces just that all the pieces are in exactly the same place 3 times , however I read that someone has to declare a draw and this is where I agree , automatically drawing a game is wrong , could there be a prompt ?, should players realise and if not then too bad?, in otb chess a player has to declare a draw and I see no reason it should change online. g that gives me great enjoyment whenever I feel the desire to

But that game has 3 repetitions. The same positions is reached after black 42 44 and 46th moves.

yea 5 repetition but the fact that you do 1 repetitive move and it can instant draw is absurd.....why this isn't obvious is baffling.
You are misunderstanding the rule.
3 fold rep can only occur after THREE repetitions. The clue is in the name

why is this rule in chess not 4 instead of 3.....srlsy 1 move by you 2 moves by your opp and force draw......chess is imperfect......but the rule also state a draw at this point can be declared.....however it's instant on here further compounding the flaw.....clearly whoever thought of this rule didn't have bullet in mind.
The rule is straightforward. If the same POSITION (not moves) appears three times the result is a draw.
I don't know what is so confusing about this ?

I think you're confusing it lol.....I was responding to someone with that post.....clearly if you read what I said there's no confusion but there are points made about such controversial thing.....have you even read everything and gotten the points made?
I have read all the posts in this thread...mostly from you.
You clearly do not understand the rule

This comment from your original post shows you do not understand the rule.
If the same position appears three times it is a draw. What is so difficult to understand ?

It would be more grown up to admit you are wrong and argumentative. But hey this is the internet.

Maybe I would be less "confused" if you could explain in plain English what this means ?

You can easily prove him wrong by explaining, in detail, how the threefold repetition rule works.
(Incidentally, the rule is actually more complex than most players know.)
Ok the drawn by repetition has changed and it's absurd......it's literally 3 repetition and it doesn't matter who commits them......your opp. can do 2 and you can do 1 and it's instant drawn.....something that's done once by you can result in a drawn by repetition obviously stupid......you can see this in effect in my most recent drawn bullet game.

It has changed in that it is automatic now, but other than that the rules is the same.
Board position repeated three times and it is a draw. Just like your game you linked to.
