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.

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)
