It must be:
- same position
- same player to move
- same possibilities in the position (possibility of e.p., right to castle)

the first, second and third time. Otherwise the rules won't apply.

Especially the two last conditions is often overlooked by players. But
it's good to be familiar with if you have to triangulate in a position
(and missed the opportunity the first time...)!
