Not after 3 null move but after 2 null moves. Imagine the following game Every side can avoid moving but not 2 moves in a row. Assume also that not moving does not change the 50 move counter. The result is the same result as normal game because not moving in case of zugzwang only delay the loss(the opponent can reply by not moving). If you start to search every ply with null with reduced depth then you detect zugzwangs if you search deep enough. Uri
