Hello friend,
yes, it happens in the real life as well. Because, it is a ruule in
the FIDElaws of chess, that if both the opponents make a simillar kind
of repeated siquences' moves thrice, then the game ends in a draw.
Therefore, many times, the players, after making simillar moves twice,
take some more time to think, for avoiding the possibility of draw.
And sometimes, they draw the game by playing in this way as well. I
think, your sister also must have given the checks to the computer, in
the similar 3 moves ways. If not, then I don't know about it. So
whether it is a check, or any other move. If repeated thrice, then it
is a draw.
I hope, that I could answer your question.
Thank you.

Elizabeth,
Draw by three-fold repetition is, indeed, a rule in Chess. It’s quite rare,
but requires basically the same position to happen with the same side on
move, three times in one game.
I’m curious which computer opponent this was, and if it’s accessible for our
purposes. :)
Thanks much,
Zack.

Hi Y'all,
I have a very interesting question to ask.
The other day, my sister was playing chess with a computer opponent. The
computer automatically withdrew the game she was playing because she
repeatedly put the opponent in check with the same piece. She says that
the computer withdrew because of a
"Three-Fold Repetition."
I have never seen this before. Does this only happen with computer games?
Does it ever happen in real life? Is this a rule that I have never seen
before?
