5 0 Live Blitz: Chris Peterson - Bill Pennucci (Game 1: King's Gambit Raccoon) 8-3-2014
See Game 2: http://youtu.be/zCvfSRwskKE

Brian play's the Raccoon against Bill Pennucci in their first game. Both players end up queening in an ending and the game appears to be a draw. Bill's time runs out in the scramble and attempts to claim a draw.

J.C. MacNeil rules that insufficient losing chances could not be claimed in the final position. According to USCF blitz rules, only special positions can be claimed drawn. Futhermore, claims need to be made before the clock flashes zero.
