Can someone explain why this match ended in a draw?

White has no legal moves left( the pawn cant move, and the king has no squares). But the king is not in check, so its no CHECKmate, but a stalemate.

Would’ve told you but NewStarterYt already provided the answer.

You had seven different checkmate-in-one moves, five different stale-mate in one moves, one move (Kh8) where white would have been able to force the stalemate, 41 moves that would still have allowed a checkmate-in-one on the following move and one move (Kf8) where black would have been able to force checkmate two or three moves later.  Your choice happened to be one of the roughly 11% of possible moves that resulted in stalemate.

If players repeat the same move over and over again it ends in a draw.

it says stalemate, which if you didn't know means that on the opponents turn, if they can't move, but isn't in check, then the game is declared a draw

in this case, it was a little weird how you managed to stalematetongue.png

A better question is this: does Delfabc know what the goal of the game is? It is weird to keep taking pawns again and again instead of mating in 1 move.

@cerebov you're a jerk.
