how can i report a bug?

I had only King and my opponent has Rook and Knight and several pawns.

His time finished when I take his Queen and game result was Draw : insufficient material. I had 1 minutes more.

I think this bug came with latest patch update.

How can I report this bug?

 

best regards

that is not a bug, it's a chess rule. at the time your opponent's clock ran out, you didn't have enough material to win against the worst possible play, so you get a draw instead of a win for you.

It isn't a bug.

You had time, but your opponent did not.  Thus, your opponent couldn't win.

Your opponent had mating material, but you did not.  Thus, you couldn't win.

Since neither player could win, the result was a draw.
