oké

So I was testing the 50 move rule on Frits. Just shuffeling with the knights

After the first 100 half moves (move #50 of black). The program claimed a draw upon the 50 move rule.

Seems fine. So on move 50 I moved a black pawn.

Now on move #100 of white he claimed a draw upon the 50 move rule.
Now 99 halfmoves are played. So I moved a white pawn.

Now on move #150 of white, after 100 halfmoves he claims a draw again.

What am I missing here?😕

My guess is that you weren't playing in tournament mode, so it just let you continue the game.

The program claimed a draw each time after 50 moves (100 halfmoves),right?

Where is the problem?

No, the second time only 99 half moves are played.

For the 50 move rule the count starts anew after a pawnmove or capture.so if you play,for instance,51....,gxf6 it's draw at move 101 (if no other pawnmoves or captures occur)

Surely White cannot claim on his 101st move as Black has then only made 49 moves since the capture, (his 52d to 100th inclusive). Black can claim when making his 101st move, but White must wait until his 102nd move.

Yes,so draw at move 101 (if claimed).

Allow me to qoute myself: "It should claim draw at 101....,N anywhere"
