I'm literally angry at this game.

How did this game end in a stale mate? I was clearly winning. I don't know what I'm looking for. I lost my queen early on and I tried my best to get this point, but out of nowhere it ends in a stalemate. If this isn't a bug, then chess has some really stupid rules.

Yes, that's stalemate. Isn't chess funny?

A stalemate is one of the best results you can get. Only winning is considered better than a stalemate:)

lol they have no moves but aren't in check, that is what a stalemate is

Stalemate is what happens when you get greedy.  Learn to cheack mate with a king and queen.

Also instead of moving the bishop, Qf4#, you had it!

Happens to some folks early on when they still think promoting all their pawns to Qs is a good idea.  Now you know, put your opponent away fast and clean; trying to torture him can backfire.  Might have been there, done that...Embarassed Laughing

When you think about it, stalemate is way up there:

1. Winning

2. Drawing(stalemate)

3. Losing

4. Having a chess set as a decorative in your home, but not knowing how to play

5. Cheating

Cheak Mate? Wow, I missed that one. What book can I study to bone up on that one?

Its an insie joke with someone...

Ouch. Tough lesson learned. The lesson learned is that you should have gone for the kill before you promoted Pawns to acquire unneeded queens. Stalemates like this makes one wish they were playing black. Ouch^2

If you insist on playing with that many queens on the board, as insurance to not stalemate the game, make sure each move you make is a check. Therefore, Qeg7# was a better move.

Thanks everyone. I learned my lesson. I'm still a newbie and I got possessed by anger after I lost the game. Thanks for the support.

Heh, I'm thinking of  the trope of the movie villain who has to use some kind of crazy slow-torture death scheme that allows our hero time to escape!
