This is probably one of the most frustrating a stupid draws ever — of course it was by repetition.

Did you get overconfident?
Would you call over confidence to catch a rook when unprotected?

Strong play means checking what your opponent's threats are before choosing a move every turn. This sounds simple to do, but the hard part is doing it every time over the course of a game.
This is a good example. You saw a "free" rook, but didn't check if it was indeed free. It turned out the rook was not free, and you only have yourself to blame :)
Why 15. ... Nxf2+? Doesn't 15. ... Rfd8! win for Black?
I'll take the win over a rook most any day.
lol, good point.
Yes, it does... Perhaps I became overconfident, in fact, and did not spent any time to think. Thanks for the comments
