This is a draw by repetition?

you got three time the same position and when it happens then it's draw
In my understanding it was consecutive moves the same position.
Getting the same position three times ...
Never used to be like that at other places.
I know the rules now, thanks for the help.
Actually, it's always been like that, everywhere, since the repetition rule was established.

If the same position appears on the board 3 times at any point in the game, an opponent can declare a draw, because it is an indication that neither player is making progress in improving the position. It generally takes both players to repeat positions (outside of forced perpetual check repetitions) and to repeat a position for a third time is admission that no progress is being made. It doesn't have to be consecutive, because there could be a string of 5 or 6 moves that keep leading back to the same position no matter what moves are tried in between...this is a strong indication that said position is the best position either player can reach and any attempt to break from it leads to an inferior position for the player that tries to make progress.

Many players auto-flag such draws, so if you don't want to draw by repetition, play an inferior move that doesn't allow a repeat and hope you can come out on top.
I should clarify that statement, though...it's been like that, everywhere, since the rule was established and been like that everywhere online since the programmers of the various chess softwares were capable of having it check for repeated positions. I imagine maybe the early days of online chess and/or maybe some bad mobile apps and the like don't do this properly. But FICS does it like this, as does virtually every chess site I know of, because a topic like this will come up in a chat almost everywhere.
Fenris, I understand what you are saying but I know it was not always the case. Maybe we played at different places. But now I know the rules here which will help me in longer time controls because there is no way I could recognise the same position in the link that i posted playing one minute. I have played countless games of online chess on many different sites with plenty of draws by repetition and have never doubted it from my understanding of the rule.
All fixed, I understand the rule here.
This has always been the case by official chess rules, but sometimes not by certain chess websites because of bugged programming.
#7: I've also played online chess off and on since 1995 at pretty much every place you can imagine. As I said, on occasion the implementation of the rule in the early days was buggy, but to the best of my knowledge it's always been accurately done on lichess.org. Maybe just no one has ever flagged the draw on you before, not everyone auto-flags and maybe you aren't the only one who was somehow unaware of the actual rule.
I was not saying lichess had it wrong but just know for sure draws happen a lot quicker than many other sites i have played on. Maybe for easy programming these sites had it set to three consecutive repeated postiions and this is why I always thought the rule was this. It is nothing to do with people not claiming draw on me before, I have the setting at auto draw. It is something I have noticed from playing hundreds of thousands of games. It is not a problem or error, just either I have changed setting or there is a slight difference on sites I played on. Or, perhaps, I am just losing my mind. Whatever the reason, its not a problem :)
