How do you know Gurevich claim a draw?

At this point I believe nothing except what shay is telling us because
I read that the wrong result was posted in the kasparov site.

I find it hard to believe that a GM claimed repetition in a position when there
was no repetition.

I expect GM's to know the rules of chess and not to do the mistake of wrong
claim of repetition.

I think there was not even 2 time repetition so I do not udnerstand claiming
draw by repetition.
