Suddenly, though, you make a move, and the game ends in a draw.
Stalemate can be a source of a lot of frustration, but it can also be your saving grace. Stalemate is one of the drawing rules of chess. It happens when the player who has to move has no legal moves available The game then ends immediately in a tie, and each player is awarded half a point.
The diagram below shows a stalemate that frequently occurs for beginner players. The queen , being such a potent attacker, can quickly force a win against a lonely enemy king. If the player is not careful, though, it can also leave no legal moves for the opponent and cause a draw.
Throughout chess history, many great players have used stalemate in their favor to save lost positions. It is a great idea to keep in mind because sometimes you can use it to prevent losing a game or even to stop your opponent from doing so.
Neither of black's pawn's can move , there are pieces blocking them. It may seem like the bishop is free to move, but it is pinned by the rook! The king has three squares to choose from, but if he moves up to h2, he's in the path of the rook on a2 , and if he moves over to g1 he's in the path of the queen, and if g2 , he's double attacked by queen and rook!
Black has no legal moves, and yet must make a move! This is the definition of a stalemate. Trying to trick your opponent into a stalemate is a valid strategy when you're far behind on pieces. Running into the corner, or getting behind an opponent's pawn are some ways you can cause a stalemate if your opponent isn't careful.
This is just one example of the Stalemate called Insufficient Material. You need to have enough firepower on the board to both check the King and at the same time make sure he has no way to escape. The fewest pieces possible to do this are a King and a Rook.
Call it a draw and move on with your day. In this game, you happened to be playing a Wizard. But I did take all of your pieces. When I move my Queen to c6, I have a big smirk on my face. You smile, as you watch my expression change from curiosity, to quizzical, to outright facepalm.
