Of course not.

The Chessbase GUI is responsible for 3-fold repetition draws.
You get a message box, and if you click OK you are always allowed to play on.
This applies to all Chessbase-native engines Fritz,Shredder,Hiarcs...

Fritz engine itself does not even know about 3-fold repetition draws.
For Fritz engines there is no difference whatsoever between 1,2 or 3-fold
repetition.

The operator was clearly responsible for the loss.
