hashim 777 vs mcdonough draw on insufficiant material erroniously declared

my opponant hashim 777 had a bishop and a knight vs my lone king and it was declared a draw on insufficiant material. it is theoretically possible to win, but difficult and rarely done,especilly in short time control. but this was unfair to my opponant,who should have been allowed to attempt the checkmate.mcdonough
