Oh, you want to win? I thought we were talking about draws.

Here's another way to draw.

It's trivially simple to make a move twice. Would take an extra 1 or 2 seconds after each move.

 Yes, there is a way.

Step 1: Write a chess playing program.
Step 2: Write a GUI
Step 3: Paste the FEN or manually set up the position (since you programed the GUI you'll know how to do this!)
Step 4: Play against the engine.

Are you sure? Here's another stalemate I bet you haven't done yet.

yep ive done that stalemate about 50 times today too. as long as the black king stays in front of your pawn its impossible to win. This lesson is flawed

Step 3.5 : hack chess.com webmaster status, and add option to play the engine you programmed.

No, even if it goes behind the pawn it's impossible to win

 So I guess you agree that the phone app can do more than the website can do. I just want to point out that NO ONE here has given one game where white can win.

 

I will spend the next few years studying this game, but I have to go right now, ill spend hours and hours copying the games from my phone to prove you all wrong.

 

This game loses or draws for white everytime, my phone proves that. it will takes hours to copy all the games but ill prove you all wrong when i do

You underestimate this endgame. You think you can copy it in hours? Haha, no way dude. Try years and years.

i tired that too, my computer ran to the 8th rank and jumped in front of my pawn, and got a stalemate. ive played this game like 200 times today and lost every game. you all put your computers on easy

 If you're losing the stalemates you're doing it wrong. You should be resigning the stalemates for a double forfeit bye. That way you'll gain rating points but be paired down next round. You have to consider the tournament standings.

That's because they're all draws. Like this one:

ok if black plays completely random moves like a 3 year old kid you can win. I can win too. Link just ONE game where you win with white playing the computer on hard, It's not possible

It's about the journey, not the destination.
