Is it bug or not?

in horde game

after the move 66.Qxe7+
2 pieces left on the board: the queen and the king, I thought it would be an automatic draw
White cannot win anymore ... although they can lose (but only if they want to).
I offered my opponent a draw, he refused and we drove another 20 moves until a threefold repetition happened.
maybe it is worth changing the rule so that in the case of a king and a queen left on the board, a draw is automatically declared?
sorry for my English
Yes,actually a good idea...alone queen cannot checkmate alone king.To checkmate,queen may need another support piece,but here definitely a draw after move 66.Rules need to be changed slightly.
Wow, this type of game seems really interesting. And yup, it have to be autodraw.
Black can win if he captures the queen. It isn't a bug
@Unicorn99 yes, but how can a king theoretically catch a queen if the queen doesn't want it? )))
if whites have a desire to lose, they can use the button to refuse
if they have no such desire, I think it is a draw
What @Unicorn99 is trying to say (probably) is that the queen could make a checking move where the king can retake the queen. Therefore lichess will not autodraw this, yes, i also think its stupid.

Edit: didnt see the y dudes post.
in this situation, both white and black can chase each other, just torture, and a draw will occur according to the rule of 50 moves, I think it applies to the horde too
but still ... i played black
After 66 moves, the options can only be: a draw, or Black's victory. and then it is reasonable, if Black agrees to a draw, there must be a draw, without this silly movement of the pieces
This is like 2N v K situation, with the black king here representing the 2N, because black can possibly win.
Should not be an auto draw, unless black's clock flags, because white here cannot possibly win.
Not the case if white had promoted to a hawk (s-horde-chess) :D

P.S: I wonder how many pawns white should have if black had the right to elephant and hawk.
