This isn't a draw!

Sort:
tic-tac

 

 

 

 

 

 

The game stopped us at this point and said "insufficient material." Lol.

you should at least give us the context (which i can guess):

you were playing a live chess game then white ran out of time, which brought up that message. am i right? i know i am.

tic-tac

Yeah. I didn't know this was a common problem. 

tic-tac

I see, it calls it a draw because I didn't have enough material to mate. Are these official tournament rules?

LoveYouSoMuch

yes! the point is that YOU don't have sufficient material to mate, so you don't win even though your opponent's time got down to zero.

[edit: well, too slow. i figured. :<]
