Is this a draw? Need help here please!
Sort:
no
Definitely not lol
you can go to b2 and d2
I see now draw there. Why would one even consider it? oO
NO!! A win for black.Forget about use of pawn and bishop and continue w/ r h3, and play as k/r vs. k end-game.

NO! Look at the advantage - black can just give lots of checks anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bigger mystery, is the process by which one climbs to 1323 (Live standard), and yet is unable to evaluate the above position.
Edit: Mystery solved, only one game played.

I'd guess he's trolling. Us lowies might not be very good but having troubles to see that this situation is not a draw is very unlikely.
A more interesting question - how many self-stalemates in 2? I can find 3 so far.
EDIT: Actually there are loads, based on the king going to a1
Not only is it not a draw, but if it is Black to move, it is a mate in 4. With White to move it is a mate in 6.
Is it possible that the Rook isn't supposed to be on the board? If not, White to move draws but Black to move wins.
Even finding the mate in 4 is not that hard (thanks for the challenge, EricFleet!)

It's also possible that the B on g6 was intended to be white, in which case yes, it's probably a draw if White was to play.

Nalimov agrees with you, it's a draw if the B is White.
