8.4. If a player has less than five minutes left on his clock and does not have
additional time of 30 seconds or more added with each move, then he is not obliged to
meet the requirements of Article 8.1. Immediately after one flag has fallen the player
must update his scoresheet completely.
8.5. (a) If neither player is required to keep score under Article 8.4, the arbiter or an
assistant should try to be present and keep score. In this case, immediately after one
flag has fallen, the arbiter shall stop the clocks. Then both players shall update their
scoresheets, using the arbiter's or the opponent's scoresheet.
(b) If only one player is not required to keep score under Article 8.4, he must update
his scoresheet completely as soon as a flag has fallen. Provided it is the player's move,
he may use his opponent's scoresheet. The player is not permitted to move until after
he has completed his own scoresheet and returned his opponent's.
(c) If no complete scoresheet is available, the players must reconstruct the game on a
second chessboard under the control of the arbiter or an assistant, who shall first
record the actual game position before reconstruction takes place.
8.6. If the scoresheets cannot be brought up to date showing that a player has
overstepped the allotted time, the next move made shall be considered as the first of
the following time period, unless there is evidence that more moves have been made.

9: The drawn game
9.1. A player can propose a draw after making a move on the chessboard. He must do
so before stopping his own clock and starting his opponent's clock. An offer at any
other time during play is still valid, but Article 12.5 must be considered. No conditions
can be attached to the offer. In both cases the offer cannot be withdrawn and
remains valid until the opponent accepts it, rejects it orally, rejects it by making a
move, or the game is concluded in some other way.
The offer of a draw shall be noted by each player on his scoresheet with the symbol
(=).
9.2. The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when
the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by repetition of moves)
(a) is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to
the arbiter his intention to make this move, or
(b) has just appeared.
Positions as in (a) and (b) are considered the same, if the same player has the move,
pieces of the same kind and colour occupy the same squares, and the possible moves
of all the pieces of both players are the same. Positions are not the same if a pawn
could have been captured en passant or if the right to castle immediately or in the
future has been changed.
9.3. The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, if
(a) he writes on his scoresheet, and declares to the arbiter his intention to make a
move which shall result in the last 50 moves having been made by each player without
the movement of any pawn and without the capture of any piece, or
(b) the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without the
movement of any pawn and without the capture of any piece.
