    This is, in fact, a stalemate. Albeit an unusual one. Whoever played white is a bit of a dope.

    God, sometimes, going for stalemates are the best things to do. People tell me never to go for it, but if I see the game going on for ages, I just finish it.

    Stalemate to me just means checkmate to the player unable to move. ( It should be viewed as a checkmate that skips check...nothing more, there is no stalemate

    So the key seems to be the King is not in check but a move cannot be made!

    Cool

    I personally consider falling into a stalemate position a sort of Blunder or at least a mistake, however if you are losing by a good margin and can force this position then a draw is a consolation. It used to be considered a loss.
