+ESP-918 Please Learn Something Called "Common Sense". "Common Sense is something that you don't have becuase what is the point of a timer?
Once there are only two kings on the board it automatically becomes a draw regardless of what time is on the clock and that is the rules of chess.
What is I about the rule says its draw that the noobie doesn't understand?
If this was tournament i was going to win!
No you wouldn't
I can already imagine his next post: "OPPONENT CHEATED BY MOVING BOTH KING AND ROOK IN SAME MOVE!!!!!"

if you actually read my comment and then looked sarcasm up in the dictonary and don't just look at the final two words of a comment then you wouldn't of deleted that comment.
p.s...your mentor Taurus, got there first.
Who is that? Careful how you answer
Just when you think the forums cant sink any lower...
Jeez...the trolls have taken over the asylum today.
"today"? as in Sunday...Monday...Tuesday...Wednesday...Thursday...Friday...Saturday?
You might be right, the position you posted might be considered a draw, but not because black does not have enough material to win. It is possible for black to checkmate white starting from that position. Highly unlikely, but it is possible.
I have some sympathy for the OP. No one has mentioned he did have the opposition in the final position...

in order for black to win white will need to move pieces to certain places. however he can't move pieces because he's ran out of time so its a draw.

Yes, hopefully I said it that way. It might be a draw because of time, but not because black doesnt have enough pieces. If white made about 8 or 9 really bad moves, black can checkmate, so it's not a draw because of lack of material, but only because of lack of time.
OP, your're a genius. Thx for your contribution to the chess community. Without you there wouldn't be any interesting discussions here. Also I admire your politeness towards other members.
Do you intend to be a GM? Just go for it! I wish you the best!
The rules simply say that if time runs out, it's a draw if the player who still has time on his clock doesn't have enough material to force a checkmate. So even if you have two Knights and your opponent had a Pawn and there is a checkmate position possible with those pieces, you can't force your opponent into that position so that is a draw.

Bet a hair of a rats nose the op is trolling! Look how many have been sucked in by his nonsense!
He's not trolling, he joined it today. He couldn't win a single game in standard, so he switched to blitz trying his luck there and FINALLY first success that he was thinking, ended in a draw....
He's not a troll, he's just a noobie who needs to learn the rules first and then the game it self .
