So if the same position, with the same number and type of pieces, is repeated three times it is considered a draw. Players need not consider positions before a capture or promotion, regardless of the particular rules of a variant(such as drops, spawning, etc.) And this raises a question: In games with drops, does the pieces in hand count with the position on the field?
