Resolved:Live chess - "Game drawn - insufficient material" - bug/error

Hi,

This is my first forum post. I hope it's in the right section.

Can somebody help me out with this possible game bug/error?

http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=275208500

My opponent ran out of time.

Instead of me winning on time, the game was declared --> "Game drawn - insufficient material".

Am I missing something here?

A king and queen can checkmate a lone king:

"Finally, note that in cases where the opponent has insufficient material to mate (lone King, King + Knight, King + Bishop, King + 2 Knights) a draw will be automatically declared where there is a time-out."

Thank you in advance.

Your opponent had sufficient material to mate, but ran out of time. If you had had sufficient material to mate, you would have won, but as you had a lone king, it was a draw. You would have been unable to force mate, so you don't win.
