@Sarg0n "If your opponent has no sufficient material to mate you will be awarded with a draw. " - that's indeed the case here. His opp has a knight which is not sufficient mating material. A single white pawn would be sufficient material, as it can promote.
@game_spectator if you look through the forums you will find a number of topics like yours - the rule was changed very recently. Though I like your: "letters of the rule contradicts the spirit of the rule".
It is lost by FIDE - the mate is possible. Though it is draw by USCF - your opp has no sufficient mating material. Both are official. 2nd is more fair. Why to choose 1st?
p.s. And I feel like as the result of this change all this bullet stuff we be even more far away from chess. I am happy to know that I am not forced to play it :)
