Does this system prompt you to take a draw when making repetitive moves? How does it work on this site?

You have to claim it, for the 3 repetition rule you have to claim it right before making your 3rd move, for the 50 move rule you must claim it right before your 50th move.

The rules are clear on this - you must claim the draw, so the system doesn't prompt you.

The details are in the faq.

this is just like regular board play . .the chess pieces on the board don't prompt you there either

by the way, the position only needs to occur three times, it doesn't have to be in a row

one other thing, and this is kind of weird, the position only has to "look" like it's the same position . .. by this, i mean that the King Rook, Bishop and Knight can be switched with the Queen Rook, Bishop and Knight . . .and although the position really isn't the same . .it actually is . .. now isn't that cool!

Same as in a tournament game, if you snooze, you lose.

yeah, that's the trickiest one of all . .but that can happen with a king side pawn promotion to a bishop then switched ! ! ! ! ! 😛

thats impossible

because either you have two bishops on the board and then one of them is captured meaning the position isn't the same

or you promote a pawn meaning the position isn't the same because pawn moves immediately negate the three repetition move

You simply promote a pawn to a bishop (make sure you have another bishop of the same colour). And then switch the position so that the two like coloured bishops change places. Switch them again and you`ve just repeated the position three times.

But then the pawn that you promoted has disappeared, so the original position could never be duplicated (actually, two pawns).

this is actually getting fun

the point is, for an example, that we are referring to a king or queen bishop, that will really be defined by the diagonals that it travels. thus, once a pawn is promoted to a bishop, then it may become a second bishop of the same color. now you would have a chance to "repeat the position" as far as it "appears that you have" . . .if only one does not distinguish the pieces as individuals, but rather as a "black square bishop" or a "white square bishop"

Now i do realize that this will not be understood, but it was just too much fun keyboarding it in!

The position that will be repeated is the position that arises AFTER the pawn has been promoted.
