Does the site recognize three fold repitition? I have a game that has gone beyond 3. Thanks in advance. Game 1432780.

Don't know if it looks into the past for it, though you could have claimed it on your last move.

I believe it does look for it in the past.. but, you do have to claim it , its not automatic.

Nope, I tried to claim a draw late in the game based on the repetition that occurred earlier, but it didn't work. This game is quite shaming.

From the FAQ:

"A draw can only be claimed along with a move that contributes to a repetition. Claiming after the repetition has occurred is not possible, unless the same position can be repeated again on a future move."

Don't take it to hard, Palimpsest is a very tough opponent. I still don't agree with not taking the stalemate though.

Palimpsest is not a difficult opponent. I had beaten him in our other clan game, and I was winning the one that is shown. See this thread to understand the game.

I ask myself, "does this look like a stage-managed game?" simply going for a dumb record.
