HI!

In first, sorry for my poor english, is not my first language (i´m spanish :P)

Can anybody explain my why this game: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=105236632 was ended by draw, reason: INSUFFICIENT MATERIAL ?

A queen, a knight and a king is sufficient to do checkmate, i don´t understand, is a bug?

Thank you very much

You ran out of time. Instead of a win, since Black had insufficient material, he had to settle for a draw.
