CAN U POINT OUT WHEN DID I SAY ALWAYS ?! I MENTIONED HAVING *MULTIPLE PEICES *  UR OPPONENT HAS none!  AND ONLY REASON FOR THEM TO KEEP THEM OFF CHECKMATE IS CAUSE THEY GOT STALEMATED  ... and since i said chess is a war game just put it in that concept already   u had one pawn one soldier surving and the other country has NO soldier surving the king still alive the king killed the last soldier makes sense thats a draw   but when u have multiple soldiers  a queen a full bishop full rock and u lose the game what kind of logic is that !??!?!

You didn’t, but the title “stalemate is unfair” implied that you thought stalemate to be always unfair. Perhaps the title should have been “stalemate is unfair when I’m winning by a boatload of pieces and I get careless”, or something

Material isn't everything. Stalemate adds more strategy to the game so the whole game isn't just waiting for your opponent to blunder.

Chess has the concept of war, with two sides fighting against each other. But the gameplay isn't really "war" where simply the side with more soldiers win, its a strategy game.

It is, if the topic starter don't know how to properly use his bishop, which other users are pointing is tiny, on top of that. A strong, muscular bishop is a necessity for a satisfactory game.

POINT MAKING FOR THE LAME PHOTOS ABOVE   ITS UNDERSTOOD WHEN U HAVE ONE PAWN AND U CANT PROMOTE IT ITS A DRAW  BUT WE ALL KNOW IM TALKING ABOUT HAVING MULTIPLE PEICES  U PPL ARGUE WITH COMMON SENSE  CHESS ALREADY IS CONSIDERED A WAR GAME  AND STILL I SEE SOME LAME STUPID PPL HERE ARGUING ABOUT IT WHAT A BUNCH OF RETARDS

I think you should look into getting some WD-40. Your caps lock seems to be stuck. 

Sounds like the least of his issues.

Games have rules and objectives.   Eg. You're told to capture someone alive for interrogation but you kill them instead.   Objective not achieved.  You failed.

yeah i was just fumed from it, but now i understand it, it just doesnt leave space for your opponent to move,. As u know, you cant skip a turn, so it is automatically draw

Without stalemate, what would be the point of playing when in a terrible position.
