Hi, I'm inreresting in rules for blizt game. I play offen with friends 5' games, and we often argue about the outcome of the game in a situation where someone's flag falls. When the game is draw, and when it is won for the player whose opponent has dropped the flag?

Thank you.

Thank you.

If a player's clock runs out, it is a loss unless their opponent does not have sufficient material to mate. If you're playing by FIDE rules, then if mate is possible by any series of legal moves then the side with time wins

That rule is more than unreasonable because it means that if a player has, for example, a queen, two rooks and, for example, two knights, he loses the game because the opponent has only one pawn with which the "weaker" side's winning position can be formed

I can't find FIDE rules, explained in details for such situation.

I think it's perfectly reasonable, if you agree to play with a clock. And why else would you want to play Blitz? And you can still play with an increment to avoid such losses.

Poor time management, not my fault
