The rule is there. After 50 halfmoves the game is drawn or the draw can be claimed. I am not sure if this will happen automatically.

I made a mistake. The rule is 50 moves or 100 halfmoves. A move is defined as one move made by white and one by black, so a halfmove is one move by white OR one move by black

The complete rule is: after 50 moves without a capture or pawn move a draw can be claimed.

Note that this does is not possible on rhp,you have to contact russ or chrismo for this.

Actually there is now a 'claim draw' feature 🙂 The button is next to 'Offer Draw' at the side of the playing board.

This is true. The claim draw feature will trap a number of draw conditions - including this one.
