I guess I would not pretend that the game of chess is stateless and pass moves one at a time. If I had to start up in the middle of a game, and I cared if 3-move repetition were violated, then I would pass the move list all at once (in a single message). >I agree with Anthony here. I don't understand what the problem with >passing the move list is. I am fairly sure you will see a problem with G/1 and 500+ move games even on a fast machine. For correspondence games, there is no problem. For everything in-between, there will be less problems towards the correspondence side and more problems towards the lightning side.
