REAL wtf stalemate
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
I can not see the moves..
This must have been a glitch.
1) It's definitely NOT stalemate
2) It's not a draw by insufficient material either.
I'm as confused as you.
All I can think of is it was a live chess game and you disconnected. Your opponent can't win but can take all your pieces with help from you. Same result as if you had run out of time.

Didn't think about that...I guess that could be a possibility.

You most definitely did not have plenty of time, you most likely had 0 seconds.

Good draw.
No, this was not a good draw. It was a stupid one, probably a glitch.

Wow really what is going on? Here is the game:
He timed out. His opponent didn't have enough material to mate. Draw due to insufficient material.
exactly, case closed
I thought a time out was a loss, not a draw..?
Now this is why you don't trust computers to do your chess thinking :-)

A timeout is a draw if your opponent doesn't have any material left.
Clearly not a draw. Maybe you disconnected and the program automatically drew the game due to your material advantage. Anyway, that's my shot at it.
Your opponent obviously kept playing a hopeless games in the off chance you would run out of time, you must have, or it was a glitch
