question re blitz chess draw by repetition

[Adam Bremner]

Out of interest, does the rule change when moving from blitz to allegro chess? I ask because I claimed a threefold at the Northern Unis Champs this year and it caused a lot of confusion. Being 25mins I wasn't recording. Fortunately despite the importance of the game, my opponent agreed we had repeated and accepted the draw, despite being obviously unhappy with the result.

People put Ken in a difficult position on Sunday, but he was consistent and no complaints there. Probably best I stay quiet on the ethics question!
