Flagging someone on time

I played this game earlier

, my opponent had 4 sec left and I had 4min, I decided to offer him a draw seeing as the board was equal, I was just wondering what everyone's opinion on winning because of time, do you consider it fair game or feel like it's cheap?

The clock is part of the game, winning on time is not "cheap". Having said that in a pretty dead position such as yours i would have been inclined to offer a draw too. But I always play with an increment on the clock.

 

ps I would have been inclined to play 7.........Bxf2+  After Kxf2 Qxd5 you would have regained your pawn disadvantage and exposed his king.
