why is this a draw
Sort:
Probably due to inefficient material
In the info tab it says timeout vs insufficient material.

Seems like even the power of the queen, rook, bishop and king is not efficient enough for Black.
No, it’s because black ran out of time, but white did not have enough material to checkmate black, so it was Timeout vs Insufficient Material
I meant timeout vs insufficient Material. Black is out of time and can’t mate and black has insufficient Material and can’t mate, so it was a draw. Sorry for not being more specific.
I meant white is out of material.

Black didn't make a move, and because the game timed out, it was a draw. If white had even had 1 pawn, or a rook or a queen, or 2 minor pieces he would of won by default.
Usually when you run out of time you lose. However that's only assuming if ur opponent has the theoretical material to mate u. if they dont, then you have 2 negatives that cancel each other out, hence a draw.
