Something I was just thinking about is how there is a type of stalemate, in which the reason one player cannot move is not because moving anything would result in ones king being in check, but because moving anything would result in capturing ones own pieces.
For instance if we imagine this position as being in chaturanga as opposed to modern standard chess, and with white to move, in this position white would be unable to move, not because moving would put white in check, but because moving would mean capturing one of his/her own pieces.
When Chaturanga was the standard form of two player chess I know that if moving anything would result in your opponent being in check then you would win. My question is would stalemate as a win apply to situations, in which one player couldn't move, not because moving would put ones own king in check, but because moving would result in capturing ones own pieces? For instance would the above position have been treated differently from the below position when Chaturanga was the standard form of Chess?
The person who is not stalemated wins.
Yea, applies to ANY stalemate.
In both situations, black is in checkmate.
Queens on both diagrams represent Ferzes
