Is this a bug? After stupidly blundering my Queen in the opening, I managed to claw my way back to this position. Officially, I ran out of time (so why didn't I lose??), but the actual message was draw by insufficient material. But how is a Queen, Rook and Knight insufficient to mate a lone King?

The rules of chess say that if you run out of time but your opponent doesn't have enough to mate than its a draw.  If the game had have carried on there is no possible way you could have lost.
