Insufficient Material

Sort:

Hi. This was overall a terrible game by both players but I don't quite understand, in this final position, why there is 'Insufficient Material'. Yes, clearly white has insufficent material but surely 2 (potentially 3) queens is sufficient for a firm conclusion. Sorry if you're explaining the rules of chess to someone who doesn't know but this automated outcome was a surprise to me. 

Thanks.

was black out of time??

Therefore, white would win, except white has insufficient material??
