The "Why" Stalemate.

It's also illegal.

Ilampozhil25

(its also illegal) how?

Ilampozhil25

oh the pawns cant pass each other

Mikey383

It because of the black light squared bishop.  It's impossible to get to where it is right now.

If you take away that bishop, do you claim the position will become legal?

Ilampozhil25

id say  maybe because the problem is how do the pawns pass each other?

(black is on the first rank)

Ilampozhil25

actually it would still probably be illegal

still the position of the bishop is legal

the pawns are the kicker here

How will the white pawns pass the black pawns with only one capture?
