Draw?

"Threefold repetition"

In your game, same position occurred on moves number 64, 66, and 68 (they don't have to be consecutive), which resulted in a draw.
There's no such thing as repetition by white or by black. There can only be repetition of the position, which occured 3 times in this game.
Remember that it's only a repetition if the position is _identical_ every single way (with one "exception", see the end of the post). This includes en passant capture possibilities, castling possibilities and most important -- who it is to move.

Note that if two identical pieces has changed place (e.g. white's two rooks), the position is still considered equal.
