Time out vs impossibility to win in variants



White timed out, but black cannot possibly win, so should be a draw right? Also similar positions with opposite color bishops in antichess should be considered as draws.
I agree. At the same time, I am not sure if it is feasible to implement these rules in variants. But here with opposite coloured bishops it seems rather obvious.
Hello, there is a theoretical impossibility here, but not for all BvP endgames. If the pawn is on b/g file there is a theoretical possibility for black to win.

Although this position should be auto drawn by lichess.
