i need all the wins i can get

You didn't kill his king, therefore you did not win.

the next move he would have to move his king and then i would kill him
yes he would be moving into check but he had no EDIT choice.

i guess im arguing EDIT a losing EDIT battle. i just came to you guys for sympathy and you guys just laugh and say big words like En Passant:'(

i guess ill call my mom then. she'll give me a shoulder to cry on

That's no choice and arguing and losing are spelled wrong. 😀

i have corrected my errors dutch english teacher😛

I suggest you consult : -

E.I.01A. Laws of Chess.
"Article 5.2 The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king is not in check. The game is said to end in `stalemate`. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal."

Ok. I'll give you that shoulder. Come on over and cry; You didn't win, but you think you deserved it. Let it go, come on boy, it'll be over tomorrow.

Why accept the draw? Just whine long enough and I'm sure the entire chess world will change the rules to suit you...

There's nothing you can do. Just move on.

He could always start his own chess variant. He could name it "bishops r cool says stalemate is a win" chess.

Part of the skill of the game is being able to checkmate your opponent's king and not get into stalemate. Your opponent will also use skill to get their opponent to cause a stalemate when they realised they have a bad position.

I think this adds to the quality of the game, rather than diminishes it.

I may not be a chess freak and i havent read the 2000 page chess book written in 1150 a.d in language i cant read but i do know a little and have a ranking of 1380.

If he cant move he should lose. I was better than he but we drawed on a silly rule. I WANTED TO WIN!!!!!! ...sigh...😞:'(


edit: yes, i do know what castling is

You can take the position that you played better if that makes you feel better, but the fact is that in the case of games, the measure of success is defined by the rules. For example, in soccer, the goal is to score more goals then the other team, not to "play better."

The goal of a chess game is to mate your opponent or have him resign. You failed to achieve that goal.
