Link to the game where you think this happened
All your losses so far have been by time or checkmate.

We had 3mins left and I still lost on time even though opponent would have been mated out in next move if he hadnt suddenly won on the time nonsense!! how does that work?
In neither of your time losses today was there a mate in one and the one that was closest you had 13 seconds at the end of your last move, before timing out.
I still think that if the side that didn't run out of time has a legal sequence of moves that allows them to mate their opponent, they should win, even if they don't have enough material to mate without help from their opponent's pieces.
Like knight vs. bishop should not be considered insufficient material, and if you can't force a draw by capturing a piece or the fifty move rule before you run out of time, oh well.

The site decided long ago not to use the FIDE ruling on insufficient material on timeout, instead opting for a rule more similar to US Chess.
What constitutes " if your opponent has insufficient mating material when you run out of time, the game is scored as a draw.".
Could you post a link to the rules that specify this?

FIDE; USCF; and chess.com all follow this rule, although they all implement it slightly differently.
Basically, to win on time, you must have sufficient mating material left on the board.

It works like this.... you cannot win if you run out of time.
It is not a difficult concept.
