This game should be a draw. White ran out of time, but I ( black ) have no mating material ( or any material for that matter ).

@russsaid Switching pieces is now live, but blocking players is delayed, unfortunately. If this goes on to be a major problem in future, I will prioritise it.
Another player "epo" is sabotaging my offerings of games currently. Still hoping for that block feature.
Apologies about this - I haven't updated it since this was last discussed. It has not been forgotten.

Suggested improvement :
Allow only a short specified time for black to make the opening reply. ( other sites its like 30 seconds ). I just sat idle through an opening move for 10 minutes in a "forgotten" game. These types types of situations shouldn't be scored as a win, and I shouldn't have to wait for 10 min to not loose rating points.

Another good suggestion. 30 seconds sounds reasonable.
Regarding these games currently being recorded as wins - we will be removing the record of abandoned games with 0 moves once this is all fleshed out.
Unfortunately, it will be at least 2 weeks before any significant changes are made to live chess now.
