Defeating a FM and Chess.com bug?

Sort:

So I played two 3' Blitz games against FM TheMagician.

In the first game, I was White and won in an interesting Rook endgame.


The second game, I was playing Black.

I was down to last few seconds in a Q vs R endgame. Finally I managed two Queens on the board with only a couple of seconds left on my clock. Eventually when I delivered the mate, my clock showed 0:0 and the win was awarded to my opponent.

Isn't Mate supposed to end the game? (The online live game notation also showed that the game ended in a mate, but looks like in the final PGN it was not registered!)

Its a tricky situation, but looks like the "clock" triumphed over the game. Hopefully the devs can fix this "bug"!

Anyways, hope you guys like the two games.

Nice games! As far as the time goes... might have been lag? (not saying it was, but thinking out loud here)

Maybe. Because I played Qfg6 mate in the above final position and the notation also showed it as Qfg6#, but I was surprised the game result popup showed I lost on time.

Not often do you win two successive games against a Titled player ;)
