I suppose a draw makes sense if you look at the scenario where e.g. all pieces were lost, but there is still time on the clock and it's just King vs. King. That also ends in an (insufficient pieces) draw
Wow, more than 10 years later I arrive at this topic :-) I find it quite ridiculous that if you win on time, you don't win. When playing live games with a time limit, running out of time should mean that you lose the game imo. That's the whole point behind having a time limit. https://www.chess.com/live/game/4226860090 - I played bad, but managed to keep pressure and slow the opponent down. Not sure how that warrants a draw
Wow....someone else who wants to play chess according to their own rules.
