	But it has an interesting side too. If the position is going to repeat after
your move, you can claim the draw. It is required that you write down your move
in the scoresheet, but it is not neccesary to play it over the board (if the
claim is faulty you are forced to do the move you wrote down).
	It can also confuse a computer, which might want to draw the game but play the
move instead of claiming the draw.
