The major division in rules to prevent repetition is between the simple ko rule and the super ko rule: the simple ko rule (typically part of the Japanese ruleset) prevents repetition of the last previous board; while the super ko rule (typically part of Chinese derived rulesets) prevents repetition of any previous board.
The super ko rule is further differentiated into situational super ko (includes whose turn it is) and positional super ko (ignores whose turn it is).
