This is a game between James and Murphy that ultimately led to a stalemate. If you want to make your brain hurt try and come up how many different moves result in checkmate? Any idea how many moves from this position result in a stalemate? Want some extra fun, find the only piece on the board you can move that doesn't result in a stalemate or check mate on the next turn.
Answer: If I am correct there are 52 moves James could have made that result in stale mate. I see 11 moves that result in checkmate and only four moves on the entire board that result in neither. All four moves that don't result in either come from the knight on f6 moving to a position where it does not check the king, but also opens up h5 and h7 for blacks king, Especially if you have been struggling with checkmate I would encourage you to get out a board and see how many checkmates you can find in this position.
