How is this a stalemate?

Avatar of Scereno

Black's King can't move without placing himself in check and the pawn's progression is blocked by the bishop.

Avatar of NickWalker12

Then white wins by default surely?

It is a stalemate:

Ka4-rook

Ka6-bishop

Kb5-pawn,bishop, queen

Kb6 and Kb4-queen

pawn is blocked by bishop.

Result-stalemate.

Stalemate=draw.

Stalemates are draws. :(

Strange rules. I just dont understand them then XD

The black king can not move.I think that the stalemate rule is awkward.

Perhaps a better question is, why would you let this happen? I saw at least 3 mate in 1 or 2s. Why not play any of those?

Avatar of NickWalker12

Because I didnt see them till after. My first game of chess in a really long time. Playing with a friend on skype.

Sure. There's also 36. Bd2#.

But my favorite is 36. b4+ cxb (forced) 37. Bd2 stalemate (instead of the pawn being blocked, it's pinned.)
