I am about to make a move that will result in an identical position for the 3rd time.

I would like to claim a draw before I move because once I move I lose the right to claim a draw under the Laws of Chess.

I am playing White against Pravitel. The position is identical after the 29th, 31st and now if I play Qg3+ on my 33rd move it will be the 3rd identical position.

Your advise please.

Thank you.

Certainly. It's spelt advice :-P

Anybody to explain this issue?

It has happened to me: the server actually needs to "see" the position occur for the third time. After finishing the move, the upper right hand corner will announce that you may claim a draw if you wish, and oh, there's a gray button somewhere to do so with.

Another aspect of chess that would be nice, is the ability to resign between your move and your opponent's. But oh well, those are the exigencies of playing on this site.
