It's illegal not to. And it's understandable for Nisipeanu after starting the tournament with two losses. Black can't deviate without getting worse and a draw with Black is ok anyway.

Jun-19-09  ajile: Lame. White plays to draw specifically.
Jun-19-09  eainca: This is the main knock on the Italian. Don't want to work, head for a quick draw.
Jun-19-09  WhiteRook48: BOO <throws rotten eggs>
Jun-20-09  Mate Hunter: This game should have been drawn two moves earlier according to chess rules, since the same position occured three times.
Jun-22-09  TimPemberton: but the repetition rule is only enforced by the players, they can carry on if they want to

  FSR: I was trying to find a good Giuoco Piano that Nisipeanu had played so I could suggest "Nice Piano" as a pun. But all I found was this lame GM draw and Nisipeanu vs A Aleksandrov, 2004 (essentially the same GM draw). Not very "nice."
