Abolish stalemate. Vote yes or no. Give no reason, just vote.

26 yes. 2 no.
Either
a) You have demonstrated we all suck at multiple choice
b) Your brains are scrambled by all the fine quality posts
c) You are a fibber (I know, it seems scarcely credible)
d) Your account has been hacked by the Anonymous Monster
Personally, I favour reason d).
I'm losing my mind. I meant 26 no. 2 yes!!!!!!
My friend, your subconscious is trying to tell you something... Cometh away from the sheeple yonder, cometh up join-eth the good shepphards, let us tend to the flock, thou too can watcheth over them, tend to them.

The cornered player should not be punished for not having a legal move because his opponent is responsible for that.
Checkmate is the only way a player can claim victory, *according to the rules of chess.* Winning on time is a rule *applied to* the game of chess, not a rule *of chess.* Tons of OTB games take place without a clock. Are those not games of chess.
A player whose king is not under attack cannot lose the game. His opponent is justifiably punished for creating a position in which he cannot move

Check to see if your pants are zipped up

I can't believe I just found another lizard. This one looks just like the other one, except it's about 3 inches long, and pink, and gray striped.

Sounds like a case of diphallic terrata
