oh my god! how can this be possible?

sorry if i am kind of stealing your thread, but i just noticed that poor uChess-application doesnt know that king vs. king endgame is draw.
so when my opponent had only king left I ran out of time and i lost.

He's clever enough to realize that you wouldn't have hung the piece out unless you had a trap waiting. Very wiley indeed.

Obviously NOT, else his opponent would have taken it.

A piece is not well-hung unless the act of hanging it *compels* the opponent to capture. There can be no possibility of a "trap" or "poisoned gift."
