I checkmated my opponent in this game but it registered as "Game drawn." Could someone tell me how this can happen. Thank you. Game 4337295

Your opponent is not in check, and they also cannot make a legal move. That is a stalemate, which is a draw.

Annoying when that happens.

Play nice Sam. We all were at that level once......well, maybe not that level, but play nice anyway.
