king and knight vs king and pawn
Sort:
The same applies as your other post about the K+B vs. K+B endgame. Why on earth would black play h2 as his final move? If he got this far, he should know that the knight will checkmate him and. It just makes no sense and only a fool who doesn't understand the concept of checkmate would play something like this.
On this site, the normal insufficient material conditions has been simplified (for coding purposes) and expanded to cover situations where, in a real OTB tournament game, a player could call for a TD to have a game declared drawn before their time runs out ("insufficient losing chances"). There's no TD here, so the server gives the draw on timeout if the opponent has a single minor piece, regardless of what material you have when you run out of time or whether a checkmate is technically possible.
I understand that if my opponent did not have the pawn I could not force checkmate and a draw is declared. However, his having a pawn means that his king could end up next to his pawn and his own pawn could block his only escape square. So, when his clock ran out, it should not have decared a draw due to insufficient material.
