I understand that chess is not played on ICC

I guess that you can win on time on ICC when you have a closed position of
king with pawns against king and pawns when there is no legal way to win for
both sides.

If this is the case then it is another proof that the game that is played on ICC
is not chess but something with similiar rules.
