I was winning by so much, but right after my last move, the computer said that it was a draw, should i just let it slide or inform chess.com?

You got screwed. Definitely report it with the link at the bottom of the page.

Did you send a 'bug report' using the button at the bottom of the page?

Insignifigant material?  That's just wrong.  Two more pawns and you get a draw!

Live chess ought to be improved in those glitches.  But the team is working their butts off!  So that glitch will be fixed pretty soon.

Looks to me like you ran out of time during a live chess game.  In that case with the position as it is, a draw is the correct result.  Your opponent can't win because he does not have sufficient material to mate you.  You can't win because you ran out of time.  Thus, it is a draw.  Note that for the correspondence games on this site, running out of time is a loss in all cases.

You ran out of time. According to the official rules, running out of time while your opponent has insufficient material to checkmate is an automatic draw.

probably dropped on time

Avatar of payet_alexandre

Yes that's the rule on live chess as on official FIDE matches if you run out of time BUT your opponent has unssuficient material to mate you, rather than loosing on time, the game is a draw, I guess that's what happened here.

Avatar of efang

the thing is, though, my opponent was the one who lost on time

Avatar of omnipaul

You stated you were "winning by so much," so I presumed you were White, as I suspect most of the other people who responded.  Taking a closer look, I see now you were playing Black.  What I should have said was "Your opponent can't win because he ran out of time.  You can't win because you do not have sufficient material to deliver mate.  Thus, it is a draw."  Again, a draw is the appropriate result.

k, i get it now, even though he lost on time, it's still a draw because I didn't have sufficient pieces... i get it now.
