A bishop is mating material in almost every position.
You probably assume that Lichess implements USCF rules.
According to FIDE the question is not "is there enough mating material" but " can the player achieve mate by any sequence of legal moves"?
A bishop is mating material in almost every position.
Do we really need to have these types of question several times everyday?

CM Sarg0n must be struggling to keep up by now!

We all have to sometimes deal with losing on time in a position we could have won, so why can’t you?
