in normal rules of chess this is the rule,
by common sense there must be something here or the number of timeout wins will inflate.
Game 407208 is a case in point.
i have offerred a draw but was refused.

Originally posted by flexmoreI would send a PM to your opponent saying that the next move you make in the game will repeat the position for the third time and you claim a draw by repetition, then send the move with a draw offer.

I pasted the game on WinBoard and get this:

32. Na4 {Drawn by 3-fold repetition} 1/2-1/2
WinBoard decided that the move 32.Na4 does the draw (the result and the comment where added by WinBoard).
I don't know what Winboard is, but declaring a game drawn because the position has repeated 3 times is just wrong.
The rules are that a player may claim a draw if the position repeats 3 times. If no player claims the draw (because they think they're winning or because they don't realise the position's repeated or whatever), then its not a draw.

About the drawn rules, http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=EE101
5.2 d) The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2)
9.2 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by sequential repetition of moves)
1. is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or
2. has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move.

I thought you were arguing for some kind of automated means of telling the players when a 3-fold repitition has occured, which I disagree with.
If a game in PGN has a 3-fold repitition which nobody claims, and Winboard processes that PGN file, does Winboard just drop the other moves and decide the game was a draw? Whatever the 'real' result was? Seems a poor tool to me if it does.

There was not any move to be discarded, the last move is where the 3-fold repetition happens. What i can see is that it changed the result from "*" to "1/2-1/2", meaning a draw. You can see that Winboard generates at my first post in this thread.
Using winboard with the computer making moves must be why it was called a draw. If you use the view game mode it will not claim a draw.
It was the chess engine that called the game a draw... just like a person might claim a draw. Just editing a game won't call the game drawn.
Winboard is good, get it, and enjoy it.

Originally posted by RussI would disagree with the software pointing out a 3-fold repetition. Its the player's responsibility to claim it without assistance.
Illustrate any 3+ positions that have occurred and offer the opportunity to call a draw. (Castling and en passant opportunities are considered too, so the rule is properly implemented)
