Three-fold repetition with three players (with one disconnected)?

Can we claim a three fold repetition with three players when one has disconnected and the other is in a three fold trap?

Or would blue (in this game) have to keep checking for 50 moves where it would be a draw after 50 moves due to no new captures?

Or can it never be a draw in this game?

Thanks

Yeah, it does not make much sense. I mean both blue and red have to suffer through playing 50 moves. In this game though red resigned as it would not have made a difference to the standings.

Thanks for the clarification. I mean there is scope for improvement here, but there must be some reason they ensure that the bot does not repeat position (though a threefold draw should be the best result a bot can get!).
