I expect so, it only takes one person to claim the draw and he obviously wasn’t going to do that….

Thanks! You're right, lichess has "Never", "Always", and "When time remaining < 30 seconds" as options. So black probably also had the same settings then?

Check your settings.  I think there’s one you have to set to make it claim automatically, otherwise you probably have to click a “claim draw” option.  It will be right beside “resign”.

That was a four-fold repetition.

I just played a game where I blundered my queen on move 15, so I attempted to draw the game through perpetual checks. Move 16, 18, 20, and 22 are all identical positions. Why wasn't this an automatic draw?
