My second beginner's course: How to stalemate.

LMK what else you would like me to do a short beginners course for and I will consider making another one.

21 hours....be patient man! Also, not the best/most informative/humorous post...comes off a bit childish tbh.
bruh that isn't stalemate since white can still play h4

Ok, maybe my next one (if I make it) will be twice as long and have more bongcloud references.

Hmmm... seems like *SOMEONE* didn't learn how to stalemate...
horsie is too strong
You know, chess without horsie isn't chess. Maybe it would be like chess... but without horsies.

chess without horsies is just checkers
This is true. I bestow upon you a happy birthday award.
I covered my first course on how to blunder here:

"Stalemate: a situation in which further action or progress by opposing or competing parties seems impossible." (google dictionary)
How does one exactly stalemate? Well, I found that, similarily to blundering, the higher your rating gets the harder it gets to stalemate. Here is a classic example:
Joe: Bob you are ugly
Bongcloud Bob: No u.
Here Bob is smart and uses the all powerful tactic "no-u." Now Joe has to try again:
Joe: Bob you are weird
Bongcloud Bob: No u.
Bob, the genius, uses the same tactic at his disposal. Joe tries once more, since there are most likely children viewing this I will make it clean.
Joe: BOB YOU ARE DUMB AND BAD AT CHESS AND YOU ARE WEIRD AND A NERD!!!
Bongcloud Bob (calmly): no u.
Since Joe cannot make any progress, he stops and it is a stalemate, because of the genius Bongcloud Bob.
This semi-instructive example SHOULD explain what stalemate is. If you are STILL confused, look at my profile pick you patzer.
Now I will show you the most common ways to stalemate:
1. DON'T PLAY THE BONGCLOUD
2. Reach this very common position:

3. When you are in an endgame:
This wraps up my second chess course. If you like, comment and I might make another one if you give me a topic idea. And for all of those beginners out there who have a lot to learn... well all I have to say is your welcome. Remember to believe in the Bongcloud!
