I am wondering if chess.com supports the fifty-move rule?

Thanks for your comment!
I also learned that chess.com doesn't force a draw when there is only 2 knights on the board ( 1 of each color) an obvious draw since it is impossible to mate. Isn't that weird especially for a pay site?

I doubt it. Live chess doesn't even support repetual check or whatever that thing is called. When I messaged chess.com about it they said something to the extent that repetual chess must be arbitrated to be a draw. I told them arbitration requires a referee type by FIDE rules in which they quoted as the basis of policy. They than messaged back pretty much saying that the two players much decide if it is a draw. Well now if you have two minutes and keep checking your partner, and he/she has 4, you lose pretty much unless they want to follow "textbook etiquette."
