How do I have insufficient material?

As for me, I would guess the gnomes that handle the server clocks fell victim of a spell from the wizard mercenaries sent by your opponent.

It sounds more plausible.

Seriously : you have a program to take control of someone's computer, and what do you do ? You make him lose a chess game ?

Yea man. Besides any information you can get - making him lose a chess game will learn him!

 If you guys think that cheating on online chess is a fantasy, then you are just not aware of the reality. I don't know why people would do it, but believe me - they do.

And I would be happy to play Insanistis or Irontiger. I speak from the experience of thousands of online games. I challenge you both.

Cheating, as in "use software to play instead of thinking", exists (though its importance is vastly exaggerated by some players - the ones that complain the most about it are usually rated <1500).

Cheating as in "launching a troyan horse to infect the computer and make the move interface freeze", hmm... What about "no" ?

Even with my deficient chess knowledge I could have walked that in.  Given the ability to move the opponent was more likely to run out of time as he had only around 30 seconds.  In fact, from that point and with the amount of time in hand, moving the King from square to Square would have won the game; 0 wealth of knowlege needed. But thank you for your erudite comment:  I'll carry it with me in the hope it may come in useful one day.

To reiterate:  the board froze for me, not the computer.  i was able to type my plight in the chat box, the page turned to place it in the message field but the board remained unresponsive to my attempts to move.  

You had some kind of lag issue which made your time display inaccurate (happens frequently), and ran out of time.

Your opponent had insufficient material, and the game was declared a draw.

You have 2 options, make a 100 post topic in here, or go play another game. :)

Your comment is infinitely more useful than the ones by zborg.  My only question is do I get a prize for a 100 post topic?

Nah, you make a friend or 2 if you're lucky, and a dozen or so enemies.

Thankfully not !

I complaint about this so many times....but nobody seems to matter

I'll save myself the trouble then....

Why would I play you ? Would be one sided winning by my part. Sounds boring.

On would think that a g-string was insufficient singing material.

But the Vienna Boys Choir would surely jump at the chance.
