Why Draw sooo Late?

I am new to Draughts Game and I actually know the basic rules of Draughts but I can't understand when I played with Scan AI Level 1 but at the endgame, we both had same materials and we played 25 moves with moving only the King Pieces in Random direction, from 53 no. move to 78 no. move I just thought that it would be a draw because of same move repetition but I was'nt a Draw! Was Scan trying to play numerous moves, thus reducing my time as I had time insufficiency? Please see to it. I don't know whether it's a bug or not or some rules... But please explain this.

Thanks

that's weird, I think it's like that beacause u play vs computer.

@AnonymousNewAccount In similar cases a good practice is to simplify position as much as possible: a draw is to be adjudicated automatically in any of "1 king + 1 checker vs. 1 king + 1checker`", "1 king vs. 1 king", "1 king + 1checker vs. 1 king" endgame after 5 moves. Therefore, my suggestion would be to make an exchange 56. 36-31

Oh, that was for the white. But, as for black:
55. .. 5-28, threatening to make an exchange 26-21, and afterwards sacrifice checker 15: it is clear, that checker 15 can't be crowned, but even if white crowns last checker, it is only a draw.
