In this site 3 times repetition rule works ridiculously. As you can see it ended the game while we both made 3 completely different movements. The normal standard chess rule is about making exactly the same movement 3 times in a row which means to move the same piece on the same square 3 times in a row repeatedly. It does not say about making 3 identical movements in a row. The rule is specific about this, and I suppose lichess must follow the standard. Lichess gives draw even if the movements are nt even identical. Look this match

My queen had been moved on b2 only 1 time before the supposed threefold. How can this be a repetition? Only lichess knows.

It does not matter what moves were made and in what order. It only matters that a position (NOT moves) repeats thrice. The positions resulting after moves 58, 60 and 64 count towards threefold repetition.
Just because the queen came from b2 on move 64 does not make the resulting position any different from the previous times.

You could also know if you actually bothered to read the link that I sent and the link that you "cite".

It's not about movements but positions, as even the rule you reference states. The same position occured after black moved on 58, 60, and 64.

Here is the very first line in the text you linked to:
"In chess, the threefold repetition rule states that a player may claim a draw if the same position occurs three times during the game"
Same POSITION, not same sequence of moves.
If you go to your game, click on the position after blacks move 58, 60, 64. They are the same. Thus, threefold repetition.

interestingly, op did not understand that rule almost a year ago already: lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/draw-with-no-repeating
looks like people explaining it back then did not help at all.
well, see all of you in a year when op starts the next topic about it.
