Draw by timeout vs insufficient material?

If there's increment like 5/5, and both or one won't agree to draw, when will game stop? The position as below.

Probably after 50 moves

That is why you should play with increment.
With increment you can draw by the 50-moves rule.
Without increment the one with more time / who can move faster wins by time-out.

Things like that can happen in G/3 with no increment. In the game I found from your archive it was a Queen and two pawns for your opponent versus your sole king.

I had time increament. My opponent had enough material to checkmate but still when his game time was over, it was still a draw by insufficient material.

His game time was over, but you had no series of legal moves to checkmate him, so you got a draw instead of a win.

I'm not sure why it simply said draw but your opponent was at zero seconds and it really was “timeout vs insufficient material.”

I got it. Thankyou.

According to Chess.com, you still have to act fast as a lone king a king and two knights. As two knights and a king can't force a mate against a lone king, it is still possible. So if your opponent only has a king and two knights and you run out of time, you actually lose rather than draw.

This is a forced checkmate, a win per FIDE, or per USCF,
but on chess.com black can get away with a draw by letting his clock run out of time:

An even simpler and more realistic example:

If white in a time scramble pushes the a pawn and falls into that mating net, he can deliberately flag and get a draw. And this isn't some obscure tablebase win or unrealistic grotesque study, just a simple mate in 7 found in beginner Endgame books.

Not true anymore. It's a win for white here:

I just got it and I didn't even know this type of draw existed

@131

Good that they now corrected that. That still leaves other cases.

This is a forced checkmate, a win per FIDE, or per USCF,
but on chess.com black can get away with a draw by letting his clock run out of time:

That is fascinating, and this position is supposedly a mate in almost 30:

Forgot the exact move order, but it's basically shuffling the king until the black pawns arrive and then moving the knight around. I wonder just how drawn out and complex you can make that single knight Endgame, how pawns can you add and double and make it still a really long forced win?

Ah I understand it now and Stockfish surprisingly does to, it's a mate in 16:

h6 instead of h5 reduces it by 5 moves because of this:

It ends up being blacks move here and white doesn't have to do as much maneuvering. Now imagine having the skill to see that forced mate, and black just deliberately flags in a forced mate position and getting a draw!

so like when you run out of time, it's like you can't move anymore. so if you don't have mating material, you can't checkmate your opponent even if they run out of time and can't make any moves

Yes, but the thing is this site only considers the pieces you have if your opponent runs out of time, and the result of that piece against a lone king, even if your opponent still has other pieces where that single knight or bishop could mate a boxed in king. So on this site, if your opponent only has a king and knight, you automatically get a draw if you flag, even if smothered mate is inevitable for example.

I had a winning position.. 2 passed pawns, a rook and king. My opponent was down to only King. Both of us had around 20min left on clock but the other person didn't make a move for 5min in an attempt that I ma resign getting frustrated. I didn't resign but went on to scroll IG. After like 15min I saw draw by timeout vs insufficient material and there the last move played on the board was by me. So I'm guessing he must have ran out of time but then why is it a draw when I had the Winning position!?!?!?

Bizarre !

I can only imagine that while you were browsing IG, the server thought you had disconnected (abandoned). The result would then be a draw.

Note that you both have time on the clock when the game declared a draw.
