Is it possible to checkmate with just a knight and king or does chess.com call it a draw?

It’s not possible to checkmate with only a king and knight. So I believe the player with only a king can claim it a draw. Also, there’s a 50 move rule that allows a player to claim a draw if there is no capture after 50 consecutive moves.

You can't claim a draw on chess.com. It's an automatic draw.

Also, the 50-move rule has nothing to do with it.
