"missed win"

how

You stalemated instead of winning

♟

Cornering a king like that, without giving a check at the same time, does not count as a win for Black even though the White king has no safe square to move to.

dude, i'm not that good at chess and i'm still pretty new, there's no reason to be a smartass

That isn't about chess 

That is about how in the world did you not know what does missed win mean(which is written so easily understood as "missed win") when you litherally turned a win into a tie

not being good at chess, i didn't realize that you tied after 50 moves

i know what a missed win, and in the post i put 'how,' because i was confused on how it was a missed win

i also said how because isn't that a checkmate anyways?

Bruh no offense but even a 600 rated player should know that a stalemate isn't a win.

Also that wasn't the 50-move rule, get your vocabulary straight

This would take him directly to the "stalemate" page. Still nicely explained @Sumebody

Also another article all on stalemate:

man i've said like 4 times that i suck at chess i'm just trying to learn what happened here and i'm getting dumped on

thanks for the links though i'll check them out

This is so awesome!  No one is actually looking at the question!

We don't capture the king in chess, but when you try to understand the difference between stalemate and checkmate, it helps to go that extra step and imagine if we capture the king. 

A checkmate is when the king cannot escape capture. Anywhere they move or capture, or if they skip their turn, they will be captured the next turn. 

A stalemate is when there is no moves other pieces your opponent can move, and if they move the king, it will be captured. BUT if the skip their turn, their king will not be captured.  This means they're out of legal moves, and since they have no legal moves, it is considered a tie. 

The reason that this is a missed win, is that you can easily mate a king with a rook and a queen, but instead of doing that, you left your opponent without a legal move, so it was a tie. 

Now this is the best part. The computer that checks your game is not good. It doesn't check very far. The computer suggested a line that ends with a stalemate, but when you clicked on it, the computer analyzed the line and realized it was a missed win.  That's why the computer suggested a missed win. 

You made a move that did not check the king, and it did not allow the king to make a legal move...so it is a stalemate. The line for the "best move" shows how you could have easily won with a checkmate.

i made an account in 2017 and played like 4 games,, i've only really started playing recently

OHH this makes so much sense thank you so much
