a new fide chess law not implemented in lichess


A new law had been introduced by FIDE , that if someone resigns from a position from where his/her opponent don’t have enough mating material (only 1 king ) , it’s a draw similar to the old law that after timeout if his/her opponent don’t have enough material it’s a draw but it’s not been implemented in lichess , above game is an example ...
For the sake of completeness, "new" here means valid since 2023-01-01. Previous versions (up to 2022-12-31) didn't have the exception for games where opponent cannot checkmate with a series of legal moves.
