Originally posted by BuzzKillerof course! Also if your time is expired but your opponent is mated the game will be a draw. And when your out of time but you have unwinnable possition on the board the game will be a draw.
what if your time is about to expire? Does requesting the draw stop the time?

oh yes 😛 that was it. You win if your opponent is mated but your out of time😀

what I was investigating was the way the different chess sites handle the 3x repetition rule.
So if your opponent is obsessed by winning you will have to keep on playing until your time expires or resign.
I don't play blitz chess anymore for good reasons!🙄

Originally posted by BuzzKillerI haven't had to test it myself, but I believe if the claim is legitimate the draw is granted instantly. So as long as you request the draw before your opponent requests the timeout (presuming you're out of time) you're in the clear.
So then...if you are the player "on move" to cause a 3x repetition...and request a draw...the site acts 'instantly' to draw the game.
The answers I recieved...were they from ACTUAL experience, or an interpretation of the rule?

The game state is:
Game state
Game over
Game drawn
Third repetition of position
