Maybe it 'was', but it _is_ not.
I don't see a threefold repetition after 34.g5, I only see a _possible_
repetition after those moves.

Read the part that you conveniently snipped out:
"AFAIK, Djenghis doesn't have the repcheck, however Shark does, but it attempts
to _avoid_ it. The author had already mentioned this during the game."

Note the part that says _avoid_.

No, it just means you are.

It is irrelevant anyway, the score is final by decision of both operators.
