[actual noob here] how is this a draw?
Sort:
I like stalemate because it creates another dimension of chess knowledge. Setting up stalemate traps and avoiding them are some of the most interesting parts of the game, i feel like removing the rule would mess up a lot of otherwise complex endgames
yeah you stupid

The opponent's king is not being attacked, yet if it were to move anywhere, it would be in check. Since you are not allowed to move into check, the game ends. I agree, being up 50 points and not winning is frustrating, but you'll learn.
BE QUIET YOU BLOCK HEAD
I love clearing up this misconception. Stalemate does not mean you will capture the king next move, it simply means that side has no legal moves whatsoever. This position is also a stalemate caused by white:
So stalemate does not mean the stalemated side would have lost. The losing side can also cause a stalemate. It just means the game can't continue.
Stalemate means you have no legal moves, but you are not in check. In some chess variants, the stalemated player loses, and in others, the stalemated player wins. In regular chess and in most chess variants, when a player is stalemated, it’s a draw.

If a player has such an overwhelming superiority and can't manage to checkmate the opponent they don't deserve the full point.

Reread the rules of a stalemate...
how about read the actual definition of a stalemate, and realize that calling it a stalemate is completely retarded?
"The logic is that you can't win the game without threatening the enemy king"
..................... ok? so?
Give up Chess if you cannot handle the rules.
stalemate is a rule which adds a twist to the game; It can be used to save a losing position
