x3 repitition rule

I thought that it was a draw if you both did the same move three times in succession ?

Isn't the rule that it must be the same overall board position three times?

Okay, I looked at your game. The board position does repeat three times. It's a draw.

If you have had the same position on the board three times, technically the game should be a draw. However, RHP doesn't have a control that decides the game automatically. You must offer a draw to your opponent. You might want to explain your reason, as your opponent is under no obligation to accept your draw offer. I think most players familiar with official chess laws would agree and grant the draw. If your offer isn't accepted I guess you just have to adjust by accepting this rule deviation when playing at RHP. Good luck! 😵

Dohhh... 2 words in there that make me cry..... most & deviation.
Oh well.........:'(

... no chance it can be but into the code or anything.. ?😀

Other servers manage to correctly handle draw by repetition of position. I think a player here should be able to make the claim, without having to rely on his opponent's acceptance.

Remember, the the 3 repetions does not have to be in a sequeance, if the same position appears 3 times during the game, most commonly in the end game, it is a draw. But it can be accomplished if both players are starting the game with moving the same knights back and forth three times, and it's draw after 3 moves!!!😀
