Plus, there is zugzwang. If a player has a move that puts them at a disadvantage, they still must make it regardless if the position looks to be drawn or 'dead.'

 

The definition of a dead position is one where mate is not possible by any series of legal moves, for either side, therefore  there is no chance of a zugzwang.

Yes but still it stays a unfair loss and is not according to the FIDE laws. It happens frequently, the diagram which I mentioned in my OP is very common as most people play closed openings. I mean while playing 30 min in time trouble there are a lot of issues as the opponent never accepts a draw and hopes to flag his opponent, the other option is that we lose only 0.01 secs in premoves but I dont think that helps.

Chess.com is not a national federation beholden to FIDE and does not run FIDE rated games.

Lets take that the a player has a rook pawn and the other has a knight. 99.9% of the rated OTB games are with increment and so there is no chance of getting flagged, secondly, if the player with knight could actually win ?? Many times some theoretical things actually happen, and the player with the pawn is safe and gets a win if his opponent gets flagged even if its a draw. How is that fair man?
