chess rules 9.6 acc. to "fide" (page 23 in below book) : If one or both of the following occur(s) then the game is drawn: a. the same position has appeared, as in 9.2b, for at least five consecutive alternate moves by each player. b. any consecutive series of 75 moves have been completed by each player without the movement of any pawn and without any capture. http://www.cornwallchess.org.uk/non-html/info/laws-fide.pdf______________________
this was referred to in an earlier mail. Ever after Nigel Short claimed a win after a Romanian guy refused the handshake at the beginning of the game, I became wary to FIDE rules ;-) Dude - how can the same position appear for 5 moves ?say there are 2 kings being moved to and fro.Then in 5 half-moves , on half-move 4 you have the same pos. (for the first time) as in half-move 0. But you NEVER get the same pos. EVER after 1 ... 2 ... 3 half-moves. This is some funny wording ! I don't get it.
