{{Main|Sennichite|Xiangqi#Rules}}

In many abstract strategy games there are rules to cover repetition of position. In some games this results in a draw, in others it is forbidden to repeat a position.

Currently, shogi employs a [[sennichite|fourfold repetition]] ([[:ja:千日手|千日手]] ''sennichite'') rule, which is required to end in a draw.  Each player must have the same pieces in hand as well as the same position on the board.  The result is a draw. However, a fourfold repetition with [[perpetual check]]s is illegal, and results not in a draw but in a loss by the checking player. 

In [[Xiangqi]], rules about repetitions vary between different sets of rules, but generally ''perpetual attacks'' ([[:zh:長打_(象棋)|長打]]), including perpetual check, perpetual [[threatmate]], and perpetual chase, are forbidden. 

[[Arimaa#Rules|Arimaa]] does not allow threefold repetition of the same position with the same player to move.

In [[Go (game)|Go]], a player may not make a move which repeats the previous position, as would occur if a player were to immediately recapture a stone in a [[ko rule|ko]] situation. Creating [[ko fight|ko threats]] is an important strategic consideration in Go.
