Originally posted by buckkyI don't think the software will automatically award a draw but hopefully your opponent will realise that you are just going to keep on repeating the same checking moves and agree to a draw. If they don't, the 50 move rule (no piece captures or pawn moves) will kick in eventually and it will end up a draw anyway.
How does the perpetual check rule work? Is it three perpetual checks done in the same way turn into a draw? I can't remember how it works. Please somebody set me straight on this issue.

Ok.....there is a couple ways to draw: The threefold position rule, in which the same position appears three times, a stalemate....in which on player cannot move any of his pieces but is not in check, or perpetual check, which one player can repeatedly check the other person with no end....this is pretty close to the threefold position rule though............

Originally posted by Luckyes you can claim a draw if the exact position occurs three times, whether consecutively or not. likely this happens in tough endgames and often overlooked by players.
About threefold position rules!
Correct me if I am right, but there is no rule that states that the "three" position does not have to appear consequently, it is if the same position appears three times any time during the game!
