The software should recognize the 3 fold repetition as well as the 50 move rule and automatically call the game drawn. I think this should be on the "to do" list ahead of any aesthetics that's currently in the works. This is a chess site first and foremost and is rapidly attracting more and more players here.

If there are 50 moves made with no pawn or piece taken the game is auto draw. So this rule would probably never happen in a game less than 90 or 100 moves.
50 moves, no captures, game is a draw.

There are several times when you might be able to dodge around for a long time. Most important endgame I think is being able to mate with a Rook and King alone... this is forced if you know how to do it and it only takes a few moves once you figure it out.

50 moves without a capture OR a pawn MOVE is a draw!
You left out the pawn moving part 😀

Originally posted by olivergThat is not true.The 50 move rule as explained earlier is always enforced.Though there are a few endgames where you have more moves,but I don't know which ones.
