I believe it should work this way:

position also includes number of checks each player has made.

3x repetition of position would have to take that into account.

therefore the only way this is a draw is 3x repetition of a position that isn't check... and only if there has been no intervening check between positions.

Anyone disagree? I invite dissent.
