In any USCF or FIDE event, and that is where the rule book applies, the game _must_ be played on a real board, with real pieces, a real clock, a real score sheet, a real operator, etc. If a program says "I claim a draw by repetition after I play Rc8" or it says "I play Rc8 and claim a draw by repetition" it works perfectly, because the _operator_ has to handle the chess pieces. The computer can't summon the TD.
