I can't understand, if I make same moves but the opponent doesn't, then why and how can the match be drawn? please help me out as I used to loose points because of this position. Thanks in advance 😊🙏😊😊

It is the entire position that must be repeated three times, with the same side to move-- not just one side's moves.
