Automatic draw

Please I just lost by time with a final horse king horse king... Chess are not supposed to declare those kind of games a draw?
Why? I'm not as chessly wise as you - is there a solution? Is there a checkmate available? Sources....yahdeeyah.....we're here for the learning you know.
t is POSSIBLE to checkmate a lone king with a king and 2 knights but it cannot be FORCED. There is always an escape square for the lone king. If the player with the lone king is drunk or reckless he would possibly move his king to the corner square in which case he would be checkmated. If the player with the king and 2 knights fails to checkmate the lone king within 50 moves then the player with the lone king can claim a draw.
I bring in the innebriated act and yahoo of all places :(
Granted dogleg, but isn't there something that says 'only with 50 moves' or something? Handy to know - never give up :D
What's a draw anyway? Between 2 folk that have equal material left? Specifically - this game......Did your opponent call you a "........"?
