Possibly for the very first time. on RHP...finished a game that was correctly declared a draw after 50 moves of no captures or pawn moves. The "Claim a Draw" button worked fine..

Black could have pressed because of the extra pawn. Why black didn't do that is beyond me.

if the minor pieces were exchange, the R + P vs R is certainly a draw. If the R's were exchanged, and White sac'd his B for the extra pawn it is absolutely a draw. due to insufficient material.
