In the middle of the game, in very tight position, i am waiting for my opponent to move endlesly, then suddenly it writes that he has won on time, i have no time left, and he has more then 7 minutes. I am completely sure that he had no more then 3 min left to the end of the game since my last move? Anyone? Thanks in advance

What browser and operating system were you using at the time? Do you use premoves at all? Did you notice any issues with either your connection or your opponents connection?

Windows 7 32, firefox, i didnt see any issue with the connection, what are premoves? Thanks

Premoves are when you move your piece prior to your opponent moving so that when your opponent does move, your piece will move automatically. 

 

Have you had the issue in any other games since you first reported this?

New situation: I have only king left, my opponent queen, king and two pawns, but i have one minut left, and his time is 00:00. Game is concluded insuficient material, drawn. And yes its his move.

Anyone understand this situation?

If a person wins on time (in this case you) with just a King, or a King and a Knight, or a King and two Knights, or a King and a Bishop, he cannot mate. Because he can't mate regardless of how much time is left, the game is considered a draw.
