Please can someone tell me how this is draw by repetition?

Hi there

I thought I understood the rules for draw by repetition, but I was playing white versus Stockfish (with the computer set at a lowly 17.5% of full strength) and it suddenly declared draw by repetition, when I felt I had a good chance of beating it. Please can someone explain to me how moving my rook at the end forced this into a draw?

Thanks for your help!

While you're at it, please can you tell me why pasting that pgn code into this forum using "Insert chess game or diagram" isn't working for me? I just clicked that button, then Load pgn, pasted it in, and clicked Load again. It just showed a blank chess board in the post, so I deleted it.

Thanks!

Position 33, 35 and 37 are exactly the same, with black to move in each. Therefore a draw by triple repetition of position that was claimed by the engine.
