Draw Button • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

I've been frustrated by this for a while, so here is an official request: The button for 3 fold repetition disappears before the player has time to press it.

The draw button appears after I make my move, but then quickly disappears when the opponent makes a move. It is actually impossible to claim the draw by repetition, even though it should be able to be done.

Example :

In the above game the draw button appears when white makes his 65th move to the position where the repetitive position occurs. Since black is trying to flag (with a ridiculous amount of time left), his pre-move cancels the button and I can not humanly make the move and press the draw button before it is gone. This game should be drawn, and I should be allowed to claim it.

What the button should do: Appear before white makes his move to 3 fold repetition (I get that this is harder to create). The easy way would be to have it stick around through the next half move - so it can be claimed on players own clock time. In live chess you can verbally claim the draw simultaneous with the move - there has to be an adaption to online chess.

If I'm not mistaken, you can click the "propose a draw" before your move and if it's a 3-fold it automatically declares a draw.

I also think there's some amount of moves that the "propose/claim a draw" stays active, so that if the 3-fold occurs one move later than meant, it still claims a draw.
