Petrified does have points, whenever you capture a piece, you get points for it (Pawn 1, Knight 3, Bishop 5, Rook 5, Queen 9).
That being said, I don't know the exact algorithm when you can claim points. It's unfortunate the chess.com rules aren't clear on that.
(and yeah, I had this too, where I probably could have Mated but my opponent suddeny claimed victory)
Shouldn't be able to "claim win" on petrified

Shouldn't be able to "claim win" on petrified. I'm in the middle of a game, then suddenly its over because somebody claimed the win. Petrified has no points so idk why they can resign and win.
