Computer inexplicably resigned

Hello,

I just played this game, and I expected the computer to offer a draw after so many moves, but it resigned instead.



Just thought you should know as it seems like possibly a programming mistake for the computer to resign in that position rather than offer a draw.

Thanks,
Edit: Actually, I think my previous explanation was wrong. I believe the computer is required(?) to resign after 150 moves have been played. Of course, however, this is a question that can only really be answered by someone with a more intimate knowledge of the site's design.
Correct, on Lichess SF used to ragesit on move 151 until its time expired; now it has the courtesy to resign.
Incidentally you can probably win by playing f4, Bxf4, and Kf3-Kxf4 at some point.
