When you won a game with the clock and you had not enough material to win (but the oponent can !!) the game thinks it's a draw !

For instance:

We can read : not enought material, draw whereas i won with the clock...

It's a US chess rule in fact (USCF), not FIDE :(

Well,

There is a difference between both (USCF and FIDE) however :)

If i anderstood it correctly:

 - USCF: checkmate can be FORCED (king + knight = draw)

 - FIDE: a checkmate position is possible (king + knight = win for the player who won the clock)

 

cheers,
