How is this a stalemate?

Let me translate that into "the language of your lineage".

1. Man-E-Faces.

2. Sheeva in Mortal Kombat (how about that? no translation needed).

3. Miss Cleo of The Psychic Friends Network.

Yeah. threat... here is the threat... and i have already said a couple of times, so people should really understand the things already said, but here goes: The threat is as a follows... either you think about your options, and let the time run out. or you make an "illegal" move, and get knocked out. Those are the options, so just resign, like a good sport would.
Crooked rules. Jump through hoops, which dont make much sense.
Kinda sounds like coomie rules... yeah, communists liked chess veryvery much... send them straight, as long as there is a carrot at the end of the road. But whatever - stop stupid, commies are stupid. Not very genius at all... our spy gave them nukes... which was a damn shame.

@ellipsis_GG

... so just resign, like a good sport would.

In the diagram @insane posted or the first diagram I posted earlier, Black should resign even though White, with a lone king, obviously has no prospect of even checking him, let alone checkmating him? Is that more true to life?

You ain't gonna convince the troll to stop trolling.

Even if he was truly a confused beginner when he made this topic, that day is long gone. Now he is just here to trashtalk the community and the game.

I'm not going to bother to read the additional pages.

You are wrong and you will remain wrong right up until you get FIDE to change the rules. Note that if the rules are changed then under FIDE a lone king can win on time against an opposing player that still has every piece because there will be theoretical help(stale)mates that can arise. Those rules regarding the results of flagging would be drastically affected by your proposed change.

After you get the FIDE rules changed you can re-open the thread. You will need to get it on the agenda to be addressed by the FIDE rules committee and then brought up for vote at the FIDE conference at the Olympiad. Maybe you can overcome the great odds against you.

No, there is no thread

Time is not part of the chess rules. Time limits are only recently introduced, i guess to make tournaments.

So it is just a Deadlock Situation and to me a Draw is a reasonable Solution.

There is time, first of all, and that is alright... secondly, no man... if u get surrounded by ops, you run out of food, and you die.
People ask me about my rating... my rating at this time is around 3500... in a game girls dont really play... Ahh, transcend. All that is not important, except the girl part... make sense of it... seems like people just happen to be stupidly biased.

See... you might hit the mark, copying the homework, but, have you learned to use your brain? Naaah, so, you are a dummy! That is high rated... i play like that too, meaning the dialogue, but mine is way more serious. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XIAB_cbT8NU?feature=share

Anyone look at the elo and how much point he is up?

You're not going to change a rule that has existed (almost?) since the game was born. Cope.

An opposite rule exists in the other descendant of Chaturanga, Chinese chess, for just as long.

Perpetual check is not allowed in Chinese chess.

Both rule sets exist.

One is not better or more correct than the other.

I do not want the rules of both games to converge.

I like them divergent as they are.

I always propose chess as a triathlon.

1 game of Western chess.

1 game of Chinese chess.

1 game of Backgammon for a tie-breaker.

Yeah, but if i have my lunchbox with me, the ops die and i win.

Agreed.

As I've said before in this thread making stalemate a win against the person being stalemated will have a drastic impact on flagging. It would mean that when the opponent runs out of time then even a player with a lone king can get the win as long as the opponent's army includes at least one a or h pawn since the opponent can fall into a stalemate (by losing everything else, moving their king to the queening square, advancing the pawn to one square before queening, and then the player with the lone king moving two squares away in the row). There are also stalemate possibilities even if there is no a or h pawn (one example is White Bishop a7, Knight a8, Rook b7, Queen b8, Pawns b6 and c7, King c8 and Black King on e7 or e8 - note that a King plus the six b through g pawns with no other material can still have the pawns promote to the needed pieces, and could thus still be stalemated). Since FIDE says that a player running out of time will lose if there is any sequence of legal moves leading to the opponent winning, a lone king will be able to win on time quite often. That would, of course, give a player with a lone king even more of an incentive to continue playing in otherwise hopeless positions.

Well, then cope with having such bad game design... lower game, that is all.
For a new player, this is just bad design... from realism... also, just makes no sense... its bad design, and that is all that is. These are not draws. These are wins. I understand, once you are conditioned, you cope just fine, just like an animal in a circus, jumping through hoops, for a carrot, or whatever... but its just bad design, and that is just the reality. not chess. Bad design. Does this look like a draw? Anywhere close? King vs king, that is a draw. This, not a draw... so gotta think extra hard. BAD DESIGN. COPE. Bad games, badly designed... COPE with that... its a bad game... i should drop it now. But you guys enjoy. https://www.chess.com/game/122610691134?move=136

Not exactly chess @ fault, but the developers here. Bye now.

Stalemate is a rule that has been debated for years

no result can satisfy everyone so they satisfy the majority

the majority wants draw

it’s a draw
