This is not true

After 2. f4 g5xf4+

if 3. Kf3 or Kf2 then black can win

if 3. Kh4 g5+ not ending in stalemate

I've forced stalemate my fair share of times, but never has it been this pretty.

The fact of Black seeing or not is irrelevant. Whether Black move his King or Queens his Pawn, it is Stalemate regardless.

Black probably did see it, but there was nothing he could do about it. This scenario would probably never happen though. I've only forced stalemate ON PURPOSE once.

i'm not sure if this is a real game but it might be. but you're right i have no idea why black didn't see this.

Weird that black didn't see that coming. Is this an actual game?
