I repeated Ke2-Kf1  3xs, isn't that an automatic draw?  Thanks

are you talking about live chess?? one or both players has to claim the draw, and the position needs to be repeated three times. In a game too you have to claim the draw

No. The position has to be repeated 3 times, not your move.

Even in regular chess the person has to claim a draw.
