How can I make my opponent understand that the game is a draw?
We have had the same situation at least five time and my opponent is ignoring my messages.

I have been shooting blanks lately, but I am trying to climb a little bit in the ratings!

The software should recognize the 3 fold repetition as well as the 50 move rule and automatically call the game drawn. I think this should be on the "to do" list ahead of any aesthetics that's currently in the works. This is a chess site first and foremost and is rapidly attracting more and more players here.

Understood. And I am adding a 'check this game for repetition rule' option - but I am stuck in the middle of something at the moment -(and yes, you got me, it is only aesthetics). I will make sure the code to fix this problem is next up.

In the case of Luck's game, I will intervene and message the opponent. If they don’t respond, I will just log in as each player and manually declare the draw.

Huh, if the same move is repeated 3 times by both players, it's a draw? Did not know that - you learn something every day...

Thanks,

He did offer me a draw after I did that 5 times first!

No the same position repeated, rather then the same moves.

Hi Russ,
Just a friendly reminder, how are you coming along with the code?
