losing drawn positions
If this is one of the games here: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=56223375
The pawn counts as enough to be mating material, in light of possible promotions. That could be the misconception.

mirage, note that in that game, it was black who won on time, and black was the side with a bishop only, without a pawn.
twice today i have lost a game on time when my opponent had no material to mate with, this of course should be a draw, im assuming this is common on this site but it should be fixed - thanks
