Ah, this is a small chess.com glitch. The thing is, 50 moves had passed, but on the 50th move, it was checkmate! This is my analysis of the situation.
Draw by checkmate?

That's the only thing I could think of that makes sense. Thanks.

I was playing the Naycir bot, and the game ended with "Draw by Checkmate" (and when I went back to get the image, it says "Draw by 50-move rule"). The 50-move rule I understand, though I'm not sure why it's not just a checkmate (so maybe I don't understand the rule).
But what does "Draw by checkmate" mean? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
