Where do you see here 3-moves repetition?
@mayday_bbb It's not a repetition in the form that the moves have been exactly repeated (but the position!).
The position at the end already showed up before on move 63 and 67, so it's a draw.
I luckily defended a theoretically lost endgame in an OTB league match a few weeks ago in that way, by always checking my scoresheet for possible repeated positions.

But, theoretically, a position (not 3 moves!) can be repeated in first 5-6 moves, will it then be a draw?? For example if queen checks me and I put a bishop in between and queen moves back to where she was and then I move bishop back to where he was – is that immediately a draw 'cuz of repeated position??

Yes in most cases it's a draw, BUT depending on specific tournament rules, there could be a minimal-moves-to-be-played-rule, before being allowed to claim a draw. There are even more crazy rules on draws that can play a role in OTB play, but i leave that away for now...

Not really, the official FIDE rules state that organizers may restrict the players' right to agree to a draw. But they do not add such a provision for threefold repetition claims, which would be silly anyway. See Article 9: The drawn game at www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/LawsOfChess.pdf.
