For sure Jonny did not issue a draw request an this is point one of the story.

Second the GUI did show a pop-up caliming a three fold repetition did happen,
but not asking to apply the three-fold repeptition rule and ask for a draw.

This happends because the Fritz GUI acts as a home-user interface and stops the
game declaring the repetition and scoring draw. Hence that interface is not
suited for tournaments in the sense that it should have a tournament mode in
which it explicitly asks for the draw instead of declaring it.
