Rook And King - Insuffient Material

Sort:
Rapidfire220

Hello,

I have had a game recently where I was left with a king and my opponent was left with a king and rook. My opponents timer ran out but it said that the game was drawn because of insufficient material, but I know that checkmate is possible with a rook and a king.

The game can be found here:

You were the one that had insufficient material, you cannot get the win even if your opponent's time ran out.
