The draw can also be made by a party claiming that the current position 
has occurred for the third time, so the move leading to the third 
repetition is legal, even if the draw is forced.

5.2d: The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear 
or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times. (See Article 9.2)

9.2 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, 
when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by a 
repetition of moves)
a) is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and 
declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or
b) has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move.
