I cant see the repetition? Which move created the third rep ? Did you try and claim it?
is this a draw by repetition?

I don't see repetition either. 2.Be6 was not a good choice, it made things very awkward for you. You could have tried to do something about it earlier, but note how you did not move your Rh8 and Bf8 until moves 36 and 37 (!) and by then it was game over. Come on now, you know you cannot compete if you choose not to use 2 of your pieces in the battle! It's not a fair fight. Develop, develop, develop the pieces!
Yes... 2.Be6 ....
consigns the bishop to defending a pawn instead of developing, and......
blocks the king's pawn, thereby preventing your Q and King's Bishop from access to two vital diagonals. Dont play that move again!
Many thanks for he comments--im still learning
For a draw by repetition both sides need to do the same moves.
We never stop learning ! The 3-fold repetition rule applies if the same board position appears for three (or more) occurances. For the board position to be the same.... the same side must have the move and any en-passant or castling rights must be the same. The board positions do not need to have arisen by consecutive moves.
On this website....if your opponent makes a move which creates the repetition you press the draw button and the game is immediately drawn. If you make the move which creates the repetition you must press the draw button before your opponent moves.

It is position which must be repeated, not moves.

7...Bf5 then a6, e6, Be7, 0-0 and you're fairly well developed. But if the Computer takes the last 44 moves to mate, then it's got big problems. 
Oh yeah, sorry that was what I meant.

No pieces have been taken for ageeeeeeeees so the 50 move rule would likely apply

White made plenty of pawn moves, though. The 50 move rule allows you to claim a draw if there have been 50 moves since the last capture or pawn move, so, not even close XD

Black lost his last piece on move 43, so if he'd survived 8 more moves he could have claimed a draw.

That is wrong. The last pawn move was on move 77. There was a long way to go before the 50 move rule could be claimed.
aside from wether this case was or was not a draw. V# does not automatically declare a draw, you have to see it and hit the draw button, as always, you will be given the option to ask your opponent for a draw, or a repetition draw has occured a second option to declare draw will appear.
but if you miss it, you miss it.
thought i had a draw any comments??
