lost on time?!also question about the game(draw or no)

I had been waiting for my opponent to move for what seemed like a long time. Then I went into my games and it said I was the one who lost on time?! This can't be real? Is there some point that it shows when the game was "concluded" or when the last move was made?

Question about the game....http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=7241087&cbqsid=7189

Draw or no? (I have to go. But, I thought I had a draw.)

I don't know when the game finished, but your position was lost anyway, so don't take it too hard. If it were a light-squared bishop, you could have drawn, but in this case you couldn't have.

I do realize if I drop my two pawns(without getting his) it is lost. But, that is much harder than it seems...if the king approaches the pawns then the e pawn pushes and the bishop would have to be the one to stop the e pawn(otherwise if the king moves to protect against the passed pawns then there can be no progress made with the doubled h pawns). once th ...[text shortened]... o use the fen or pgn on here. I really am 90 percent certain that this is in fact a drawn game

White wins; eg.

58...Kh7
59.Bf4....Kg8
60.Kg5...Kh7
61.Be5...d3
62.Bf4....Kg8
63.Kg6...Kh8
64.h7.....d2
65.Be5#

If the pawns make a run for it at any point, they are just gobbled up by the bishop or king.

Another possible line in case the e pawn push:

58......Kh7
59.Bc1...e3
60.Kg5...e2
61.Bd2...d3
62.Be1...Kg8
63.Kg6...Kh8 or the pawn queens
64.Bc3+...Kg8
65.Bg7 and mate next move.

Yes, I know. I don't know what could have happened. What was the time control?

Here's what probably happened:

It was a 1/7 game. Your timebank had already expired, or was about to, and you opponent still had 3 days or so left. That's why he was able to go for 3 or 4 days without moving. Since your timebank had already expired, you only had 24 hours from when he moved, and you evidently didn't move within that time control. I know it was 1/7 from the game info.

but like I said it was 21:30 on may 30th last move and I got back on the next day at before 1500. Anyways, thanks for the help
