scan board.
if pieces = 3 and
pieced = bish, king, bish
then Game = draw.

Back before we knew the insuffiencent material check was messed up someone wondered if it would give a draw in the following situation:
Black to move; Mate in 1.
We figured out it wouldn't, but if Russ recodes the Claim Draw, it will be a bit more complicated than if only a king and minor piece exist on each side.
Yours will work, but I figure if he redoes it, he wants to redo it for all insufficent material situations.
