Incorrect draw by repetition?

Sort:
ganesh221b

I recently played a game on Chess.com, and according to the game's termination message, it ended in a draw by repetition.
However, upon reviewing the game and consulting the official Chess.com support documentation (https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8573042-i-got-a-draw-by-repetition-how-did-that-happen), I couldn't identify any instances of threefold repetition during the game.
The three moves highlighted dont match, please assist

This is indeed threefold repetition.

The repetitions occur after Black's moves on Move 64, 66, and 68. If you flip through those positions, you will see the board positions are the exact same. The ChessCom interface even shows a special marker where repetitions occur.

Perhaps the point you are missing is that the specific moves do not need to be identical; only the board position and possible legal moves need to repeat.

In your recent game the same position is on the board after Black moves 30, 32, and 34. The rule is triple repetition of position
