The "Why" Stalemate.

It's also illegal.

The 1st rank is the 8th rank here

The light-squared Bishop can't make it to g8.

If the board were actually like that, it wouldn't be stalemate.

wait that is just cheap

ALL my analysis and n951l1's analysis was based on the board being like how it is

well OBVIOUSLY now it is illegal

I propose we postpone any further discussion of this position until Mikey383 posts it again as it would appear if White's men had started the game on White's side of the board.

"posts it again" means posting in a new comment not updating an existing one

no one wants to go a page back

I'm sure the diagram posted just before my this post is legal.

Nothing illegal about that one.

Now Mikey383's position #5103 is illegal for the reason we've seen a lot: no promoted pieces, and a bishop that couldn't have moved showing up somewhere else on the board.

Same deal, except now it's post #5132.

#5134

At least here the trapped bishop is still where it belongs. The position is illegal for the same reason as when it was posted at #5055 two days ago--neither side has a legal previous move.
