Joined 01 Jul '08 Moves 23826 What is your favourite stalemate? One where you clearly otherwise would have lost. Or maybe couldn't even win. I'm yet to get one, despite many drawn-out games trying.
When the king is stalemated but you still have just a rook left.
You can call blacks king in check indefinately and he can't take it.
had a few like that and they are funny games.

Can White win? I really don't like those "strange" type of studies, but that was the most brilliant one I've seen! it's so artistic.

i won't give the solution.I couldn't get it on my own, but luckily somebody "whispered" in my ear. It's a nifty problem. (I just want to know how white gets that pawn structure, lol.)
i guess it's not k-a2 🙂
