The rule says a player can claim a draw, but they are not obligated to do. So, if you're a player and want to exhaust the search space, this only helps you if you seek a draw; but perhaps there would be a guaranteed win somewhere if you kept playing (and the opponent didn't claim their draw).
- PeterisP 5y agoThere's the usual limits where one may claim a draw (threefold repetition or 50 moves without capture or pawn move), but there also are limits where a draw is automatic and should be enforced by the arbiter even if players do not request it (fivefold repetition or 75 moves without capture or pawn move).
