    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 hi ...[text shortened]... would be a 'Discovered Check' and that
    type of check is not mention in the FIDE rules.
    I would love SwissGambit to compose a problem with this as the finale!!!

    A game can also be drawn by threefold repetition which is the same thing in principle, ie the same position arises 3 times during a game.
