That is true. Johannes Zwanzger told me, that Jonny gives a draw score if a
position is on the board at least 2 times. So Jonny does not distinguish between
a 2 times repetition or 100 times repetition.

BTW: Johannes who is actively playing in the 2nd german Bundesliga is very well
aware about the 3 fold repetition rule. :)
