question re blitz chess draw by repetition
#4
Pause the clock, call an arbiter to observe, then see what opponent does.
When I was very new to chess, I had an opponent in an allegro who repeated the position 4 or 5 times. I said that's a draw isn't it? His reply was 'prove it'. Without the repetition I had a forced mate. Stupidly I tried another move and subsequently lost.
I now know that I should have paused the clock, called an arbiter to observe play, and got at least the draw.
It pays to know the rules.
Difficult in blitz though.
