Today I played a game down to where I had the lone king and my opponent had the king, Queen and pawn.
I avoided checkmate until my opponent ran out of time. At that point the computer declared a draw due to insufficient material.
Should I be the winner in this situation?
Search insufficient material in the bar on the right.
You don't get the win if you don't have enough material to checkmate your opponent. You didn't, so you didn't win.
Thanks for the info! I understand now.
Scottrf, I read your post under insufficient material.
