How is this a draw by insufficient material?!
Sort:
I am black and it's white turn to play. I still had 3 minutes on the clock, and have premoved my king to F3 because my opponent move should be h1.
My opponent wasn't playing (for no particular reason other than to piss me off I guess).
And then I went back to the game after 10 minutes and found that it's a draw by insufficient material!
Here is a screenshot even

Happened to me before too. Ten minutes was probably too long to be away, without touching the board before your screen saver may have gone in effect. Too many players are allowed to stall and waste the other players time. It’s frustrating to say the least.
Because your opponent did move, and you did run out of time, but your opponent had only a king, and that is why. „timeout vs. insufficient material”
But when I clicked on the game to see what happened, it clearly shows that I still had 3 minutes. I attached the screenshot. And the weird thing is I premoved all my predictable moves.

3 minutes left after your last move, then you disconnected.

In the game it says "Although White ran out of time, Black did not have sufficient material to ever force a checkmate, so the game ended in a draw".

Wow! So this is really a chess.com bug. Pretty crazy

Yes I suspected that before, but the weird thing is I am the one that did the last move. So if anyone ran of time or got disconnected would be my opponent, not me.
