Threefold repetition - BUG

In my last game the game ended in a draw on 'Threefold repetition' rule. Can you please tell me, when did the same position occur three times during the game?

1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. Nf3 d6 4. e3 Nf6 5. d4 e4 6. Nfd2 d5 7. c4 Bb4 8. cxd5 Qxd5 9. Bc4 Qd6 10. a3 Bxd2+ 11. Qxd2 O-O 12. O-O Be6 13. Nc3 Bxc4 14. bxc4 b6 15. Nb5 Qd7 16. d5 Ne7 17. Bxf6 gxf6 18. Rad1 a6 19. Nd4 Rad8 20. a4 Qxa4 21. Nc6 Nxc6 22. d6 cxd6 23. Ra1 Qb4 24. Qxb4 Nxb4 25. Rfb1 a5 26. Rd1 Rd7 27. Kf1 Rc8 28. f4 Rxc4 29. Kf2 Rc2+ 30. Kg3 f5 31. h4 f6 32. h5 Rg7+ 33. Kh4 Rgxg2 34. Rg1 Rxg1 35. Rxg1+ Kf7 36. h6 Rh2+ 37. Kg3 Rxh6 38. Rd1 Ke7 39. Rc1 Kd7 40. Rd1 Rg6+ 41. Kh4 Rh6+ 42. Kg3 Nd3 43. Rb1 Nb4 44. Rd1
After move 40, 42, 44 it‘s the same position.

Man, is it so hard to click on your last move, move-2 and move-4?

> In chess, the threefold repetition rule states that a player may claim a draw if the same position occurs three times during the game. Two positions are by definition "the same" if the same types of pieces occupy the same squares, the same player has the move, the remaining castling rights are the same and the possibility to capture en passant is the same. The repeated positions need not occur in succession.

The positions above are all the one and same "position" that you reached after moves 40, 42 and 44.
Does this help?
