If it makes you feel any better, Marky, prior to 1807, a stalemate was considered a win by the person forcing it. Then they changed the rules to confuse you. Just you.
Walker, Texas Ranger!!! You should've got a Gold Globe and an Oscar for that. Rock solid stuff. I've been such a fan of yours. Can I do anything for you? Wash and wax your car? Do your shopping for you? C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, please?
Whaddya say we start another Chuck Norris thread.

Game no 3721242 has been ended as Stalemate, Its surely an error , White king is Checkmated .. how can this be?

how can it be ? A player gets into such a strong position , the opponent cannot move because they would be checkmate and its stalemate.. I say thats Stupid no other word for it.

Chess is invented by people
Therefore: ... chess was invented by that tiny bit of people who seem to be NOT stupid and form the exception that confirms the rule (Dutch saying, and therefore stupid lol). The game itself is brilliant and it's those, as P put it very neatly, who waste the game by stupidity who are stupid.
I think stalemate is a very good way to show your stupidity, or to show that you can combine moves until your opponent looks rediculous! 😀
