So if you run out of time is it the best ranked player who wins because last game I played he had 2 pawns I had 2 pawns a bishop and knight and queen so I was well in front I'm quite confused

If you run out of time then you lose except if your opponent doesn’t have enough material to mate you no matter what they do in the case you do perfect play then it’s a draw

I still don't understand how I loose is it because I started the game

If your time runs out, you lose.

Maybe you haven't noticed that both players have their own clock?

If you run out of time, you lose the game even if you are winning.

#10 simple. If you run out of time, it's the same as you get checkmated (except if your opponent didn't have enough material to checkmate). It doesn't matter if you started or not.

Wow 3 of us commented at the same time.

I still don't understand because we are both playing the same game and made my last move before the clock ran out

Loss by adandonment means loss by not playing the game or loss on time is self explanatory
Avatar of geelongcats65

Is there a game I can play with no clock because it will probably happen to me again since I still don't understand cheers
