First of all, sorry for creating the millionth forum on this same topic; I thought I understood the rules pretty well... until this blitz game: lichess.org/OcztK16DoJHf
We had bishops of opposite color, my opponent flagged, but the position was called a draw. I thought the rule applied on lichess was that if checkmate is still theoretically possible, however unlikely, it would be considered a loss for the flagging side. It is theoretically possible to checkmate with opposite colored bishops, so what's the deal?
I don't bring this up because I want my 10 rating points or whatever, I'm just confused because this seems inconsistent with what I thought was the Lichess policy on flagging. Am I mistaken? Or is this an exception to the rule? A bug?
