Game Error - Insufficent material on pawns turned rooks!

This image basically shows the problem (note it says insufficent material for me, white, and I have two rooks and a king). 

Note 2: Both of those rooks came from pawns if that helps (It may be a problem there).

You ran out of time. Instead of losing, you got a draw because your opponent has insufficient material to checkmate you. You don't get a win, because you have insufficient time on your clock (maybe they should change the message Wink)

Timotheous
  1. The side that had the two rooks ran out of time.
  2. Normally if you run out of time, you automatically lose to your opponent.
  3. But the opponent only had a king and so could not possibly have a winning position.
  4. Therefore it was declared a draw because the only side that had time remaining did not have sufficient material to win.

EDIT: I was beaten to the punch... oh well. Smile
