The official rules for threefold repetition indicate that the same position can't happen three times in a game. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition) I don't have enough memory on the NES to keep track of all the positions that have been played through the game so I decided to scrap that rule.
I think it could be a good compromise to check that the same 2 moves aren't repeated over and over, I'm just wary of adding unofficial rules to my version of the game.
The 50-move rule is on my todo list and shouldn't be too hard to implement.
I checked the code and there was an issue with my "Is the player in check" code. I test whether the player is in check by looking at their king and finding out if any of the enemies pieces can attack it. It seems I forgot to check if the enemy king can attack your king. I added that check and have it working. I'll put an update out soon.
