Lost instead of drawn game despite insufficient material

#1

Hello, my user is C-4-Chess.

Please see the following game which I lost on time, despite that checkmating me could not have happen on any sequence of moves, since my pawn has already advanced to the 3rd rank (No positioning of the kings and knight is a checkmate, since the pawn can only move forward, and only if it was positioned in the 2nd rank on a rook's file a checkmate would have been possible.

Please fix the bug, and please fix the rating updating that was caused as a result of the game.

Thanks.

This has happened to me also, a couple of times now. It would be a good bug to fix.

No, a faster mate is possible with a rook promotion since the rook can get to h2 in one move.

Oh, very nice. My mistake, I failed to even consider the rook-enabled mate.
