Where is the draw here ?
QPPPK vs K is not a draw

[zenpawn]

Yes first draw ever when playing against Stockfish. Although time control bit eccentric.
Where is the draw here ?
QPPPK vs K is not a draw

A "win" on time with insufficient mating material is just a draw.

[Henk]

Winning on time from Stockfish with time control 15 seconds is far more difficult. You probably need about 70 moves to accomplish that using winboard. Best result so far was 0.9 seconds left on the clock.

[Henk]

Almost a draw black only had 0.2 seconds left on the clock. So about 62 moves might be enough and not 70 moves.

Ah, so that's how you win from Stockfish within 20 moves.

[Henk]

You have to start somewhere and take not to large steps.

By the way Skipper already won on time against Stockfish with time control 15 seconds. But winboard only shows that Stockfish has zero seconds left and shows no result. Almost looks like Skipper refused to move without any reason. Need a debug file but there is none.

Certainly.
As the Greek uncle of one of my former bosses was reported to be fond of saying, "The first 100 years are the hardest".
