Is the game trying to claim that I could have blocked myself in with my pawns somehow?

@sergius64 the game says no, but says you should give me the 500 bucks you owe it.
When your time runs out and enough pieces are on the board that the opponent has a non-zero chance of winning, they win, and vice-versa.
That is kind of the point of playing with a clock.

My point is - how does he checkmate with a single knight? I guess the game is trying to say I could trap myself with my own pawns.
Knight can checkmate,if you have extra pieces/pawns besides your king that can block escape squares for your king. Therefore,checkmate is possible.If you had no pawns,the game would be drawn as no checkmate is possible in any sequence of legal moves.Hopefully,helped :)
It is possible for K+N to checkmate K+N in the corner of a board.

A series of legal moves exists that leads to checkmate, so you duly lost on time per FIDE Laws of Chess.
If you dislike that, then play with increment.

There is also the possibility of a draw, but the game was lost on time before your opponent had their chance.
