Yesterday, I was working with some very young children on the simplest possible checkmate. One game ended with this position.

Black to move

If the king is not in check, but can't move, then another piece is moved. For example, in this position the king is not in check, but also cannot move.

For me it's a GENIUS rule

Maybe the player that is STALEMATED should be forced to make A MOVE.

A new rule that forces this move only to the player stalemated, . .

It will be called, "SACRIFICE" TO MOVE THE KING TO ANY MOVE WHERE HE WILL TAKEN!

For the 10th time, stalemate does not necessarily mean the king would be taken next move.

It just means the player doesn't have a move. They could be winning when it happens..
