How is this a draw?

how is this a timeout draw when white only has a bishop?

probably because black could checkmate white in a few moves but black ran out of time
this happened to me too...

edit: white is victorious after all

It's not time, White could still "theoretically" checkmate using blacks own pawns to trap their king.. They added this a few years back and every so often this gets asked.

Though upon further inspection this is not a draw. Black time out - White is victorious

( could be mistaken I am drunk ) and not very good at chess either! haa!

( by either I am comparing myself to myself, not to anyone else) for the record didn't want anyone to think either meant I was including some other player, I mean I am also not very good at chess I should just edit that, but drunk yes.

This position is a draw, black will never promote any of the pawns with proper play from white's side. Also there can be positions where black blunders and white can checkmate black.

Black wins, because he has two pawns.
But if you ask, 'Why Isn't This A Draw?', the answer would be, White too has winning chances, if Black traps his king with his own pawn and bishop.

- Golden Rule -

As long as there is a possible scenario for your opponent (no matter how improbable) to deliver checkmate with the remaining pieces on the board, you will lose upon timing out -- this includes forcefully promoting a pawn of yours to a convenient piece that'd allow your opponent to checkmate you
