And I thought my chess progress is slow :D

Check moves: 60 64 58

Threefold doesn't have to be 'in a row'. Honestly, I was shocked when I found that out.

We should add this to the list of Infrequently Asked Questions (IAQ).

This topic is now closed.

Not yet it isn’t!

...

In retrospect, maybe the 3fold description could include move numbers and/or a hover tip. I'll have to think about this.

Also, maybe this forum could do the Stack Overflow thing of answering questions while you are typing them.

I only hope and pray that the guy has already heard of en passant.

You may think it's ridiculous, but the site follows the official international rules regarding this issue so if you have problems accepting it, it's not the fault of lichess.
