If it is Black's turn, white is toast. However it must be White's turn and there are no legal moves for white to make. Pawns are blockaded for white and the King is stuck on his square. = stalemate

thanks OG, i realized it was a very dumb question, i didn't saw it was White's turn. It must be the ADHD lol.

Hey it's all good, it takes time to look for the "White/Black to move" title within the various portals. Good luck in your studies!

Thanks mate, my goal is to reach at least 1000 rating and getting close to your level while having fun with it.
