If you have the exact same position 3 times in a game you can claim a draw by repetition.

Provided that it is the same player's turn to move each time

Case in point: Game 487043 I offered a draw once, he refused. After awhile I just kept on trying to claim the draw with each move, until finally the 3rd repetition showed up.
