How is this a stalemate? I was being arrogant and was going to try to make all my pawns queens but the game ended in a stalemate. What happened? (This is my first time posting here so I don’t know if this is exactly how I do the thing where you can see the game)
Here is the game and final position:
If you look at the squares the Black king, you will notice the king can't move anywhere legally. Since the king is not in check, this is stalemate.
