"check" how many times ?

Could someone please confirm if there is a rule concerning
repeated 'checks' ( the checks do not keep repeating the same
move ).
I was once told that after checking your opponent nine times that your
tenth move had to be a non-checking move.
I am aware of the 50 move count and the draw after 3 identical moves
by both players.

Is it possible to put someone in check nine times without repeating a
prior checking move? I'd like to see it done.

What I meant was not making identical moves each time or three
identical moves in succession.
To explain, I am involved in a game where I am attempting to get my
pieces in position for mate.
Obviously a move may be repeated, but most of the time I am
making 'fresh/new' checking moves.
I have probably checked my opponent 4/5 times and do not want to
end up with a draw. ( if there is the 9 check rule ).
Maybe I didn't explain myself very clearly.
Are you aware of such a rule or was I mislead by my 'teacher' ?

Martin

I'm pretty sure you've been mislead Martin. In the course of a game
I've had to chase a king around for ages and have definitley had
people in check more than nine times... especially when I add the
checks earlier on in the game.

There is a draw by *perpetual check*, but it is not enforced the same
way that the repitition of moves is.

What I mean is, repeating a position 3 times allows the player to
claim, and be legally granted, a draw. You cannot draw merely by
checking an opponent, however many times, unless you reach the 50
move rule (which I don't believe is enforced on this site). Draw by
perpetual check works this way: One side checks the opponent and
creates a position where their repeated checks cannot be stopped by
the opponent. The opponent realizes this, and concedes to a draw
rather than continuing ad nauseum.

The point is, there's no such thing as a 9-check draw *rule*. The
perpetual check is a device used by (usually, the losing) player to
*force the opponent to concede to a draw*, NOT an automatic draw
by the rules of chess.

Hope this helps.

There's no rule regarding repeated checks.
It's unnecessary because of the 50 moves rule (one can claim draw
after 50 moves without captures/pawnmoves) and the 3 times same
position rule (one can claim draw if in the game there has been 3
times the same position with same player to move! and the same
posibility's!! (there can be several moves between the positions))
Draw after 3 identical moves does not exist!
