Go up one level in this thread


This makes sense also

 It is NOT a draw unless the player (or program), calls it a draw,
states/displays or prints, his intention to make the move resulting in the 3
fold repetition, and requests the TD/arbiter to make it official, AND
subsequently makes the move resulting in the 3 fold repetition after the draw is
approved by the TD/arbiter.

If ONLY the fritz GUI knew of the 3 fold rep., and not Jonny, it would be
absolutely ludicrous to give Jonny the draw, don't you agree?

So what do the rules say ?

Must the program claim a draw ?

Did the program claim such ?
