Time out question in a drawish endgame With some extremely rare exceptions, KNN vs KR endgame should be a draw. However, I am wondering what if this endgame happens in a game with no increments. I think the following will happen at chess.com:

If KNN runs out of time, KR wins.
If KR runs out of time, it is a draw.

Isn't this unfair since both sides do not have reasonable winning chances. It seems to me that in this endgame, time out rule favors KR, though KNN is 1 point up in material (if each knight is counted as 3 points and each rook counted as 5 points).
I think the following will happen at chess.com:

If KNN runs out of time, KR wins.

If chess.com abides by the FIDE Laws of Chess then this is false.
If the side with K+R runs out of time then they lose. K+R vs K+N will also lose. This is the relevant article:

6.9 Except where one of Articles 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3 applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by that player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.

Here is the relevant helpmate position for K+N vs K+R. No second knight is needed.
[FEn &quot;kr6/2N5/K7/8/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1&quot;]


Isn't this unfair?

If what you say is correct regarding chess.com's interpretation of the rules then, of course, it is grossly unfair. They would be much fairer if they abided by the FIDE Laws of Chess.
