FAQ
Perpetual check only works as a draw if the same position with the same person to move occurs three times. Perpetual check is thus a defensive tactic where the player in a disadvantageous position will repeatedly place his opponents king in check, hoping to repeat the position three times and claim a draw.
In your game the fact that the opponent placed you in check four times on his way to mate looks to me as if you have not quite understood the rule.

Originally posted by Semper FiA threefold repetition of position can be claimed as a draw. A perpetual check is an annuity. 😉

Kopatov is correct!
(never thought I'd be typing that in this forum) 🙂 (a joke.)
It used to be, but it was taken out because that type of draw is covered
under the three fold rep law (or indeed the 50 move rule.)
Most (all) players OTB just agree a draw but in theory one player should
claim it is a draw by calling over the TC and showing him the position.
I've never done that and I've never seen it happen.
You won't find the term 'discovered check' in the rules either.
So as of today that move is now illegal.
This is checkmate.
Black cannot play BxR because that would be a 'Discovered Check' and that
type of check is not mention in the FIDE rules.

Originally posted by kopatovYou are right that there is no such rule. But "perpetual check" does exist in chess and I agree with wolfgang59 - we all know what Semper Fi is talking about. It is just a scenario when repeated checks can't be avoid and a draw will be claimed under 3-fold repetition or 50-move rule.
There is no such thing as a "perpetual check rule" in chess.
