  1. I'm afraid not. You can't, because your time has run out. You lost the game.


  2. yes...if timed, he can still win. If not, you have to check mate him

  3. yes you can and you could win or lose

  4. Yes you can continue playing until you win the game by getting your opponet in checkmate.  With two rooks it shouldn't be that hard.

  5. You can play until your opponent notices the flag.  No one can notice it for him.

    Online is a different creature.

  6. If by "chess flag" you are referring to the flag on your side of the clock, it means you have used up your allotted time.

    If you run out of time in a timed game of chess, YOU LOSE.

    Plain and simple.

  7. None of the above answers are correct.

    No, you can't continue playing.  Once either player's flag falls the game is over.

    If your flag falls first and your opponent has just a king, the game is a DRAW.  If he/she had a pawn, or enough material to mate you, (two bishops, a bishop and knight, a rook, a queen, etc.) then you would lose... he or she would win on time.  (Because your flag dropped.)

    Since he/she doesn't have enough material to mate you, in chess that's a draw.

    The link below contains the following scenario:

    Q: In a tournament game, I had K+R+P versus my opponent's K+N.  As I was hurrying to make my moves, my flag fell.  Do I lose the game?  Should I have made an insufficient losing chances claim?

    A: The same rule applies in all situations:  if your flag falls and your opponent does NOT have mating material, the game is drawn.
