A link to the game would be helpful in situations like these.

This one?


You said it was not a stalemate. Care to explain?


The position (White to move) is clearly a stalemate because White has no legal moves, AND he is not in check.

The pawn can't move since it's blocked behind the king.

The rook can't move since it's pinned by the black queen.

The king can't move or else it would be in check.


Case closed.

Game called a stalemate when it clearly was not!!  Which is why this outdated, shitty bit of programming needs an actual designer to redo this pathetic excuse of a site.

i'm with this guy.

last week alone this shitty blah blah blah whatever called 5 of my games stalemates.  and once a dude killed one of my pawns that was next to his.  i swear this blah blah-ing shitty blah blah blah.

And he moved 2 pieces at the same time!  Damn bugs.

I'm reminded of times I'm playing a beginner online and I make a move like this

And there's a long pause for black's move.  Undoubtedly repeatedly trying to 0-0 and wondering why it doesn't work.

So you're the jerk who keeps hacking the programming site code script. Reported and blocked and also I said some unkind things about your mother.

I did think the game in question nicely shows the power of the direct King opposition.

Promotes pawn to queen - Check

Up a Queen, Rook and Pawn with mate just a few moves away - Check

Finds the one move to give it all away with a stalemate - Check

Get all pissy and blame it on shitty programming - Priceless!!!

Do these types of threads ever have the OP come back and apologise to the site designers and programmers they insulted based on a stalemate oversight they made.

Imagine if he complained about three-fold repetition instead. (46,48,50)

This isn't the help and support you're looking for.
