Not asking for help in this game, but for a ruling on a pattern of moves I've seen develop.
The game is #983830 against Songwright and since move 61 he's cycled his remaining knight to C6 from D4 three times to check me. In each case I've moved out of check and he's reverted to the previous position, as knights are want to do, and assumed the previous check position.
Thing is, he's down to king/knight and can do nothing to push it to mate, while I have two pawns I could (hypothetically) promote as well as a bishop. I've been searching the web for rules governing repetition and find some about draws and some about forfeits but nothing definitive.
What's the rule here or is there one?

If he can achieve perpetual check, it's a draw.
There is no such rule, but ...
If he can make the same situation repeat three times, it's a draw.
If the same position occurs three times with the same player to move, a player may claim a draw by repetition.
If both of your pawns die, it's a draw by insufficient material.
yes.
