Stalemate in Live Chess

Sort:

Hi everyone,

today i've noticed for the second time that in a quick live chess game the site doesn't seem to recognize that there's stalemate.

I was in obviously lost position but had some more seconds on the clock so i searched for a stalemate. With help from my opponent i found and played it, but my clock kept ticking the last 5 seconds i had left? Can you fix guys this problem?

It definitely recognizes stalemate.  I think you may have made an error in your calculations under the time pressure.

Was the last move ...g5 (allowing capture en passant)?

Lol, i've looked at it for the 10th time and just now i see it! Blacks last move was g7-g5, so i should have played hxg6 e.p.!

Kind of hard to see with a few seconds on the clock ;) Now close this topic already :)

:P en passant...
