I don't know what you mean. It is obviously a losing end game for black. It is because of 50 move rule. If you be unable to checkmate your opponent in 50 moves and there is no peices left for your opponent that going to be draw.
Why this is a draw?
You were black. White ran out of time.
'6.9 Except where one of Articles 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3 applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by that player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.'

There is no series of legal moves where you can checkmate the white king with your lone black king, hence draw indeed.

So the time does not matter?
First of all, ignore what the hoomanjala guy is talking. It's pure nonsense. The 50-move rule has nothing to do with this one.
Find your game, then click on the "info" tab, and you'll see why it's a draw:
Game drawn by timeout vs insufficient material
What this means is: your opponent ran out of time, which means that she loses, but in this case you have no material to win with - so it's a draw.

"I need to have King and rook when the time ends (?)"
It need not be a rook; a bishop, a knight, or a pawn suffice as long as you can checkmate the opponent's king by a possible series of legal moves.
On this site insufficient mating material specifically means ...
A lone King, King and Bishop, or King and Knight.
Anything else is considered sufficient material to mate on this site. Other sites, FIDE and USCF may have different rules.

King + two knights vs king is also insufficient material to win on timeout.

Thank you for the correction, I had that one mixed up. In addition to KB vs K. King +2 or more Bishops of the same color square vs King, should also be insufficient mating material.
Hi guys, Why does this situation end in a draw even though I have time left and the opponent runs out of time?
