  Your diagram does not work on my computer. Draw by repetition is when a player repeats the SAME *POSITION* 3 times.  
  They do not have to repeat immediately during only three moves.
  
  Same means same person on move, nothing different like castling or pawn moves or captures. Position can take several moves to come back to the same one and the in between positions do not matter.
  
  I am not going to play over that game on my physical board to find it but if the computer said so then there were three repetitions.
  
  Look at the position after your moves 200 206 and 214 and see if the position is not the same with the same person having moved.
