Three Move Repetition Not Detected

Automatic draw upon threefold repetition is fundamentally wrong.

Why should the rules prevent players from continuing the game, if they wish so?
It shouldn't be a forced feature. I think it should be optional. It's especially useful for bullet games.
This is GREAT! Now, could it also be made possible to configure our settings so that players don't ask us for takebacks!

In 1 min games, you would not believe the number of people who are losing and ask for takebacks (or offer a draw!) in their last 10 seconds :D
Great, thanks!

Does this allow, in the example in the opening post, a claim by white? I ask because there wasn't really a claim to automate, according to the old rules, since it was never white's move in a repeated position.
Not yet. That would be in the next release, which means tonight ;)
