Article 10.1 about Quickplay finish is clear. If there is no way for the opp to win by normal means then you can claim a draw. The example you give here does not even want the opinion of the arbiter. The arbiter comes in other positions. For example opposite collored bishops with same pawns or more that is a dead draw. If you have for example the wrong pawn bishop case you can claim a draw at once. Stop the clock. The arbiter cannot argue (of course you should control the promotion square ). The position you show here DOES NOT REQUIRE judgement. The article that says the arbiter can let you continue to see what you do is for example you have a KP v K. To play a couple of moves to see if you know how to draw it. But nothing more. If you have KBPPPbKB you just stop the clock if there is not time and claim the draw. THere is no arbiter that will tell you go on. Of course with increments there are no quickplay finish rules. So if you play with increments that does not hold
