Draw by repetition, that's all.
Is there a term...

When a position repeats itself 3 times (evidently piece moves, not pawn moves), regardless of whether they happened at moves
N, N+1 and N+2 OR even N, N+50, N+100, I believe it is a claim for draw by repetition.
Thats a nice game
I know that it's a draw by repitition. It's just that chessfolk like to come up with fancy terms for everything, so I wondered if they'd had one for a draw by repitition where both sides are truly forced to play the repeating position or else lose ground (as opposed to just choosing to repeat or being forced to repeat by checks).
Oh yeah, I forgot.... it's a Super-Duper, Most Awesome, Really Clever, draw by repetition.

Can we get that in German, like zugzwang or zwischenzug?

Let me have my morning coffee, I'll see what I can make up.
Super, die Meisten Awesome, Wirklich Clever, remis bei wiederholung! 
draw by threefold perpetual.
:) Perfect.
It's just odd to me that there's no unusual name for the situation. We are talking about chess players. The eight opening 4th-rank pawn moves are known as Ware Opening, Polish Opening/Orangutang, English Opening, Queen's Pawn Opening, King's Pawn Opening, Bird's Opening, Grob's Attack and the Desprez Opening. The most simple moves in the game and we need fancy names for all of them.
... for a position where neither side can break the repetition losing ground, but it's not a check so it's not a perpetual check but still ends in draw by repitition?
This was my 45-45 league game over at ICC this week:
White is down a pawn and can't really improve his position other than the moves played, and black can't break out of it without conceding the exchange.
