    isn't this one a stalemate? does white have to hit the claim draw for this to happen? am I missing something here? if it is a stalemate, i thought they were automatic ... game id number is 10874641

    Perhaps we should wait until the game finishes to discuss it.

    ok then obviously i am missing something, i dont see how white can move, but obviously i am missing something then ... so you are saying simply that it is NOT a stalemate?

    doug, its a stalemate, unless white just clicks offer draw so the title of the game ends draw and not stalemate even though its the same lol............. are there less points for a stalemate than an agreed draw??

    This post made me go back and look at other threads doug989 has made in similar situations, and there is a common theme.

    In that context, the original thread post is equal parts hilarious and sad- setting aside the OP's blatant disregard for forum posting guidelines.

    Truly, this post is a work of Art!
