It looks like you have been playing. I do not understand the problem. You can't write a post or play a game unless you have a connection.

There are no judges to intervene.

You have to claim a threefold repetition by hitting the draw button after the position repeats for the third time.

Can someone please explain why is this a draw?

Because black ran out of time and normally would have lost, but white had nothing left but a king, and could never have won in a million years, so the game is deemed a draw.

Does this mean that the game would be also called draw if I was left with only a knight or a bishop?

King and knight or king and bishop would also be a draw.

Hi guys 

I have a little question. If my opponent placed check but neither of us noticed it, what do we do? Retrieve moves back upto the check move or continue with the game. Please explain what to do? Thanks

Must have been in live over the board chess. You couldn't have ignored a check in online chess.

If you have the moves written down, you can go back to that position.

Hi Guy
For quite a while I've been stuck at a rating of 850 to 900 ( this is 'Trained' rating on 'Rated'). Could someone please tell me if there's anything I can read or can do to improve my rating.
Thanks
