Play online chess |  Subject: Claiming a draw
Message:
Hello All:
How do you claim a draw for 50-move rule, etc. on Gameknot?
Do you just attach a message to your move? What if your opponent keeps playing on? Who resolves this.
Thanks in advance,
Gerry

Not sure how it is claimed, but if you are refering to your 70 move on going match it is not eligible for a draw as material was taken and pawns moved

As I understand it, the software running on the GK server automatically declares a draw, just as it
declares a checkmate when that happens. Can't speak from experience though.

One Move Ahead of Opponents, and Two Ahead of Trouble — It is impossible to miss that James Black Jr. is a chess champion when you walk into his home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Three trophies, each nearly three feet tall, sit on the floor in front of a fish tank. Other trophies crowd the floor in front of a living room cabinet that is covered with more chess trophies, many with medals dangling from them. There is an inlaid chess board on the coffee table in the center of the room with carved wooden pieces, and another board on the kitchen table. James, 12, is a seventh grader at Intermediate School 318 in South Williamsburg, a perennial powerhouse in chess. Though the school’s teams have many talented chess players, James stands out. He is ...

You are correct. Sounds like someone does not understand the rules of chess.

Chess: March of the rook's pawn — White has to stop the h-pawn – but how? DK: Black has just advanced his rook's pawn, one of my favourite attacking strategies. Why? Because it does not compromise my own king, and the lone pawn can often unlock a defensive position. How should White react to the h-pawn's advance? RB: I do not like White's position here at all. Why are his pieces concentrated on the queenside when Black is so clearly intent on making a direct assault on the kingside? White's last move was Nf3-e1, presumably with the idea of transferring to the queenside via d3, but all it has done is to deplete further the defenders around the king. My honest thought here? Play the knight back to ...

how to claim a draw in Gameknot or will Gameknot auto do it for you as cascadejames suggests.
I know I cannot claim a draw now in my game. I am hoping to survive and get to that point eventually.
Thanks,

On Chess: Nakamura just keeps getting better — In a recent chess match in St. Louis against Ruslan Ponomariov, Hikaru Nakamura continued his spectacular run of the past two years. Nakamura, the No. 1-ranked player in the United States, defeated his foe 31/2-21/2 in classical chess and 3-1 in a subsequent rapid match, boosting himself to the No. 6 rating in the world. Both the lofty ranking and his creative, courageous play are dizzying to an American chess public that has hungered for a successor to Bobby Fischer. Nakamura isn't an easy opponent. Like Fischer, he won't acquiesce to draws, as Ponomariov noted at a news conference during the chess match. "Hikaru has a lot of energy," the Ukrainian said, "and is fighting in every position and keeps ...

I haven't had the need to claim a draw(50-move, repetition) but isn't it done with the Offer Draw link?
According to the FIDE rules the only automatic draw is insufficient mating material on both sides. The 50-move rule and repetition require one player to claim a draw.
So, if you're in a position where the 50-move rule is in effect and you click on Offer Draw, Gameknot should then declare it a draw without offering the opponent the option of accepting or declining the draw. If neither player ever clicks on Offer Draw the game should continue. Is this not correct?

New York International Event Gives Local Players a Leg Up — In its first three years, the New York International tournament provided local chess players with opportunities to earn norms for titles, sometimes while beating strong grandmasters. This year’s competition, which ended Tuesday at the TriBeCa campus of St. John’s University, was no exception. The winner was Robert Hungaski, an international master from Connecticut. He scored 8 out of 9 points and finished 1 ½ points ahead of his nearest competitor, the grandmaster Jaan Ehlvest. Hungaski’s performance earned him the second of the three norms needed for the grandmaster title. Two young masters from New York, Kassa Korley and Aleksandr Ostrovskiy, earned their first chess ...

Play online chess | As far as I know from other threads
Message:
you get a message to claim a draw (and a button to hit) in case of the threefold-repetition-rule. It is quite close to OTB (but not exactly the same), the player who is to move next can claim it and the opponent has no choice at all. The only difference is that in GK the "tournament director" asks the player if he wants to continue or not.
This may be a strong hint that the 50-move-repetition-rule is handled similarly: "According to the chess rules you may now claim a draw, if you don´t want it just make a move. Claim a draw (Y/N)?"

Magnus Carlsen back at No1 but Sergey Karjakin shines in Romania — Magnus Carlsen won this week's Bazna Kings in Romania unbeaten and regained the No1 spot on the live rankings from the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, yet his performance was eclipsed by a rival. Sergey Karjakin, at 21 only a few months older than Carlsen, also scored 6.5/10 without loss, was fractionally second to the Norwegian on tie-break and, most importantly, jumped to No4 in the rankings to highlight his own world title credentials. Karjakin at 12 was the youngest grandmaster in history before Carlsen outstripped him as a teenager. Then two years ago Karjakin changed nationality from Ukraine to Russia and moved to Moscow in search of harder competition. He chose ...

... the 50-moves-rule is not implemented at GK. gerrym and me just finished an unrated test game (1. e3 e6 and then no capture and no pawn move). It took less than a day using conditional moves.
Neither in move #51 or #52 nor later anyone of us got the chance to claim the draw. So we finished in move #54 with a threefold-repetition.
In my eyes the only way to claim a draw according to this rule is to send a request to GK-administration (if the opponent doesn´t agree before).
