Bizarre Draw Bug

Sort:
Real_Ego

I just played a game where my opponent achieved a draw without achieving a draw. See for yourself. It was my king and queen vs his lone king. It was not a stalemate. It was not repeated position. It was not timeout. It was not the 50 move rule. No draw was offered or accepted by me. My opponent was the last to move. I had 16 seconds left, he simply moved his king, and then the game was over. This is possibly a bug, or abuse. The only thing I can think is that maybe I was leaning over my keyboard and pressed an accept draw keyboard hotkey with my body, and didn't notice the offer???

Hopefully this link works.

The game information tab says “Game drawn by repetition”. The final position was repeated on moves 59, 61, 63.

I your last draw, you were white and only had a king and the best outcome you could get was a draw. Your opponent ran out time so it was a draw as you don't have sufficient material to mate.
