What is the threefold repetition in chess?

The threefold-repetition rule says that if a position arises three times in a game, either player can claim a draw during that position. On Chess.com, this draw happens automatically on the third repetition. One thing to remember is that the repeated positions do not need to be in a row.

Does threefold repetition have to be consecutive?

Although a threefold repetition usually occurs after consecutive moves, there is no requirement that the moves be consecutive for a claim to be valid. The intermediate positions and moves do not matter – they can be the same or different.

What happens if you check 3 times in chess?

3-Check is a simple variant with one clear task in mind: Check the king as many times as you can! Normal rules apply, but you can also win (or lose!) a game by checking (or getting checked) 3 times in total. Games can still end in the traditional ways of checkmate, stalemate and time-out.

Why is stalemate not a win?

Just like with Checkmate, in a Stalemate the King cannot move—he has no Safe Squares. In fact, a Stalemate happens when there are no legal moves, just like Checkmate. The only difference is that since the King isn’t threatened, the attacker can’t claim a win and the game is declared a Draw!
