that is regular. you had only king on the board so you couldn't mate your opponent. it does seem somewhat illogical though. ;-)
cheers
Game didn't finished as it should?
Sort:
Well, I do understand what you are talking and I must admit that I didn't know for this rule. But on the other side he is the one that run out of time and he didn't succeed to win. Because we are playing on time, he is the one that should lose.
Anyway, today I learned something new.
Thank you all for your explanations.

Your logic is faulty.
Chess was played as a game long before the clock was introduced. The clock is an important part of the game but it is not the final arbiter of who wins.
To win a game (other than through resignation) you must either checkmate your opponent or win on time. When the clock was introduced it was considered illogical to have a situation where someone with a lone King could now win a game, whearas before the introduction of the clock he would either lose or at best draw.
Dear Chess.com,
How this game (game ID: 1228515043) could be finished as "Game drawn - insufficient material" while my opponent has rook and knight and left without of time?
Best regards,
Kruno
