When the same position is played three times one of the players can claim a draw. The other player cannot deny the draw. I think the rules do not claim it is a regulation draw. The rules just allow a player to claim a draw if he wants a draw. In a tournament the player may call the tournament directer over and make a claim for a draw. The player's clock will be on when the played positions are reviewed by the tournament directer. If a position was played at least three times the game will be declared a draw. I do not know if you can claim such a draw if you play something like ten moves past the repeated position and start losing the game.

If your opponent has repeated the position you must claim a draw before moving. If you are about to repeat you must announce before moving that you are claiming a draw by repetition. If you do not claim correctly then unless the position is repeated a 4th time there is not a valid claim.
The positions do not need to be consecutive so if a position is repeated twice then 10 moves later it is repeated for a 3rd time a draw may be claimed on that 3rd repetition.
