Originally posted by iggy4it's not if your opponent can win, the game still continues because there is still the possibility of having a stalemate.
In tournament play, if you run out of time and your opponent has no pieces, then it is draw, but on here you lose if you timeout regardless of whether or not your opponent can win.

It is a clearly chance of stalemate here.
The time should always be cared of.

he said he lost, not drawed.
i remember his rule. when someone in advantage runs out of time and the opponent had no chance of securing a checkmate, it is a draw.

the rule in tournaments is (if i remember correctly) that if your opponent is king and bishop or king and knight or only king(ie no chance of winning), and your time runs out, that opponent will not win like in this case, it will be a draw.

i don't know the rules regarding this matter on other sites but i think it should be an automatic draw just like in OTB play.
there's not more annoying than someone playing on hoping for a major blunder to force a stalemate or timeout win. anything that stops rewarding this king of play has to be a good thing.

You were messing with your opponent and you lost on time, it's not tragic it's hilarious.
