Yes, but it doesn't happen automatically. You need to claim draw.

What is more amazing is when a player calls you a cheat when you capture his pawn in passing.

To try and make it quite clear, the 'Fifty Move Law' can be claimed by either player after there have been fifty moves by both sides since the last capture or Pawn move. But until one side does claim, or some other law applies, the game continues.
The actual law is No. 5.2 e. which says : -
" The game may be drawn if each player has made at least the last 50 consecutive moves without the movement of any pawn and without any capture."; and it can only be claimed by the side having the move.
However, some draws are automatic immediately the position occurs, any case where neither side has enough material to force checkmate, K+B v K is an example. (Law 5.2 b.)

I thought about joining a clan, but then I'm not that good yet, so I didn't want to join and then make everyone mad. 😳
