Stalemate

I just played a game that Chess.com says is a stalemate, and I can't imagine why. My opponent was in check and had a square to move to, and then my next move was checkmate in 2. I don't know how to show someone that game. Help!

...Not in check, no legal moves. I see no problems here.

There is no check, the stalemate is correct.

Your opponent got away by the skin of his teeth. That is a stalemate.

Thanks for the help. The only thing that I can imagine happened was that my computer was running slow, because when I moved my queen to c6, his King was on A8, and that was check, then the next thing I know his King is on b8 and it's a stalemate. That's never happened to me before.
