I mean that 20 years seems like a long time to you. I have been playing chess for over 65 years. So, for me 45 years went by before FIDE decided to mess with speed chess.....

I'm sure chess players in the 15th century complained when en passant was added.
Here on chess.com, people are STILL complaining about it.

The fact Such person never actually invented anything in their life nor produced anything remarkable doesn't help them realize how stupid they look like when they post such threads.
Exactly

That's not a fair comment. He said he's been playing a long time. He never claimed to be good at it. I disagree with him but I don't see how his rank or even time in chess.com means anything
Yes sorry. I don't think so his rating has any relevance to it . Generally I see such posts from people who are generally rated below 1000 . So I said that in that sense . Apologies , I am editing my comment. No disrespect intended

If I read between the lines of your comment #13 it seems your complaint is also about computers. Not uncommon with someone your (our) age but we wouldn't be having this conversation without them.
That really is an uninformed insult. FYI, my whole professional career was in high tech including designing microcontrollers, semiconductor ICs, sensors, automotive systems and writing software. I fully understand the technology. It is how people use that technology to come up with scenarios that would not normally be possible. That does not normally make them good ideas.
The solution: play with increment.
All FIDE competitions now use increment.

Regardless of what might happen after the clock times out for one player, it does not change the fact that the player whose clock timed out failed to secure a win in their allotted time.
But they did manage to secure a draw.
Insufficient material is one of the conditions for a draw, and he achieved it by removing your mating material.

It makes no sense to punish a player for having better material in an otherwise drawn game.
Under your suggestion, your opponent would absurdly chase your king trying to sacrifice his rook so that the draw is triggered before time runs out. (Or he could go for checkmate, but assume that can't happen.)
----
Once you remove your opponent mating material, you cannot lose the game.
If both players remove their opponent's mating material, it's immediately a draw.
If one player removes his opponent's mating material, it's either a draw or a win, depending on the remainder of the game.

speed chess has been serious for like a decade now
fide has been having official speed chess tournament with rules since like 2001
You have a much shorter time horizon than some of us..... :-)
