Hi David, thank you for your reponse. Then, this rule (10.10) may not involve any check's. I really thought it revolved around checking the King. I guess not... ...thanks again.
Here's the rule from our FIDE laws page (http://www.chessvariants.com/fidelaws.html): 10.10 The game is drawn, upon a claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for the third time: (a) is about to appear, if he first writes the move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention of making this move; or (b) has just appeared, the same player having the move each time. The position is considered the same if pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and if all the possible moves of all the pieces are the same, including the rights to castle [at some future time] or to capture a pawn 'en passant'.
Hi, Can someone state the rule regarding when the King is checked three consecutive times and it moves to the same two squares back and forth? Does this result in a draw? Suppose the King had other squares that he could have moved to but chose the same ones to force a draw. Is this valid? Would this be a draw? Does it matter which of the opponent's pieces were involved in giving check? If I am not being very clear in my question, I do apologize, but therein lies the problem: I do not clearly understand this rule; though, I do know that such a rule exists. Would someone clarify? Appreciatively,
