I'm new and can't quite see everything. Challenge 4/5 on the chess.com lesson on stalemates is getting to me. How is the position a stalemate? Why cant that pawn promote? Any help would be greatly appreciated? I know that white moving after black promotes would be illegal. Im just confused. Thanks!
Stalemate is when a player has no legal moves on the board and is not in check.
The g-pawn is pinned and can't move, the h-pawn is blocked by the king, the black king is not in check and can't move being blocked by the pawns, and g1 is covered by the white king
