You ran out of time but your opponent had only a king so it was a draw.
Your opponent did not have enough material to mate you, no matter how badly you might have played.
Null game, need explanation

Thank you for your answer, but I looked and apparently I had 2 minutes left to play and he had 3

The escape square d1 is stopped by the knight, so it's pretty much a draw.
Remember that material advantage has no practical significance when stalemate is achieved - it's a draw regardless of how much material one side has over the other.

Is this a joke?
When a very low rated player complains about a draw, you don't even have to look at the game, it is 99.9% a stalemate.
For further explanation on stalemate, see Bishop by George is Goated & Doctor Bean.

True. I'm waiting for the game where the stalemate is the result of en passant being played.

I did a game before and it was decided to be a draw and I would like someone to explain why because I was largely dominant in that game (I play black)
