Insufficient material vs clock
Sort:
if the black has Q R R and 4 pawn vs white that has only 5 pawns but clock runs out, shouldn't the game be called a draw? what about that insufficient material rule? is that a thing in this case?

Since the material is obviously sufficient, it's not a thing.

I could use the good old RTFM here, but hey. In this context, insufficient essentially means that there is not enough material left for one side to deliver mate, no matter what the opponent does. The exact definition depends on the organization, here it's https://support.chess.com/article/128-what-does-insufficient-mating-material-mean.
