"A player declares a draw if the same exact position is repeated three times (though not necessarily three times in a row)"

Once this occurs claim the draw by clicking on the draw button.

thank you for your help and i did hit the draw request, now is it up to the opponent as i did not recieve a draw but it says i have a pending request for draw, and im almost certain  its a draw as i made the same moves in the  endgame 3 or 4 times a1 to a2 and repeated it 3 times, thankes as im not sure i completely understand ill research thank u Will

I am thinking you moved the same moves 3 times however your opponent did not, therefore it is not a draw. The exact position (both sides) needs to occur 3 times to be a draw on repition.

thank you knightmage.now i finally get, it both sides but not nescery in a row

Thinking about it as repeated moves will lead to confusion -- it is repeated positions that are relevant to the rule, and you are correct -- they do not need to be sequential.
