Is Fritz right or does it not know the rules of the game? It looks as though Fritz is wrong. The Laws don't say that the repeated position has to be on moves N, N+2 and N+4, although I'd guess that "non-contiguous" draws are quite unusual. I suspect a trawl through a big OTB database will turn up quite a few such draws which weren't noticed at the time ... Alastair
