If the clock actually ran out you are correct Fide rules are that you win.
If your opponent claimed a draw before time actually expired ( for online this counts as clicking the draw button) then a draw is correct.

He offered a draw several times earlier in the game when he should have resigned, I declined. I thought you had to agree to a draw?
Confused so you can not win on time? if that rulkes states three fold repetation I did not do that. I was carefule to not to the same move over and over.
I read he offered, I refused. So are you saying at any point in a game you can claim a a draw and be rewarded witn one when you are losing? Whats the point of having points then? He asked for a draw , I refused so how did he get one? I appreciate your help but you have not answered that question
In online chess it is not identical to over the board although it is similar.
In online chess I don`t know of any site that distinguishes between offering a draw and claiming a draw.
Instead online chess tends to have a single button for both offereing as well as claiming a draw.
For your game on chess.com the rules almost but not completely match Fide Rules.
I recommend looking up rules instead of asking humans as a general policy.
I also doubt should resign is possible in any game whether chess or not.
I predict earthlings resign whenever they fancy becoming a silver medalist.
I could tell you about 10.2 but instead I recommend 10.2 chess googling as a homework assignment.
You then can be more confident that the information you find is not just the opinion of some earthling.
what ever. I read article 10.2--------so why do we have points then???????? He claims a draw but is losing on points. . I could see article 10.2 working if the game was tied on points but it was not. The points should be the tie breaker.

I was playing a 30 live standard game. The clock ran out and I had a king and a pawn, he just had a king. The computer said the game was a draw not enough material. I had more points and you can checkmate someone with a king and queen . I am confused one with the point sitiauation when the clock ran out , I was ahead in poiints. I f I promoted that pawn in therory I could have won? Where am I wrong?
