Sujet: Re:

nabla: As I recall the repetition rules were never implemented in the code here, you have to ask the admin (Fencer) explicitly to end a game.
The reasons were: first, it's very complicated to implement, since repetitions may concern moves that are not consecutive; second because that's how it's done in regular chess tournaments anyway: a player has to inform a referee that a 3rd repetition has occurred. And now you have discovered a third reason: the rule doesn't necessarily make sense for variants :)

Sujet: Re:

rabbitoid: I would be interested to know if this ever occurred in practise though. You can’t get it by perpetual check as the third check occurs after only 1.5 repeats of moves. The other way this usually occurs is in long drawn out endgames where one player is trying to make something of a small advantage. It could happen in these circumstances but I would think it was very unlikely.
