Hey I used the analysis board on lichess in King Of The Hill and found something amazing!

The thing I found is that when there is insufficient material left on the board, it is not a draw! The player who's king reaches the center first wins! So the insufficient material rule isn't applied in this game!
P.S: Sorry if this topic is already made, as I couldn't find it.

Oh Thanks For The Information @SHAURYANILESH I did Not Know !

Yes but you still need a knight/bishop but in koth you don't need. But in bishop as long as opponent stays on dark squares (if you have a light square bishop) you wont win just like the king vs 2 knights endgame in standard chess in which also a knight pair cant force mate but we can get mated if we make a mistake.

Of course it does. I mean, you do not need to checkmate but yeah its right and same for racing kings too.
@RajassTD You're welcome!

Don't know about knight, but with bishop it shows its draw with best play. Also found best play doesn't include only avoiding the squares which the bishop is of. For example you cant just save yourself from a dark squared bishop by only staying on light squares. BTW do you know if its possible to win with just the rook in in atomic as in one of my games on chess.com I wasn't able to checkmate but my opponent got timed out. Please answer.

But if opponent plays properly its a draw if you were talking about #5
