Just to appease the masses, I have finally got around to implementing this. (The lynch mob can back down now..😉 )

A new link is available from the board view sidebar. If the game is eligible for a draw claim, it can be made from that link.

Here is an example where this rule would have been well used had it been available :

[link removed by me, sorry - read next post]

Note, this link is only available from the board view when playing, but you can fudge the gameid on the URL (as I have done here) to any game you like if have any interest. But please, no tipping players off - the onus is on the player to check for the repetition.

[And yes, the 100 half move (50 full move without any pawn movement/captures ) will follow shortly - repetitions was the tricky one of the two to implement]

The link to this feature has just been removed while I ponder over some points raised in the help forum.

I think this is absolutely fantastic. I was going to ask about it myself the other day. 😀
