And at one point of time, it was even a loss for the stalemating player.

 

I would not really believe it myself, but it once did.

indians made chess and they made the rules they said its a win it should been stick to that way only rabbits and ppl who paly awfully would be happy to win a lost game without materials

Life is unfair. Stalemate is part of the rules of the game.

Oh, but wait -there's more. I didn't want to ruin the surprise but there is a little special package in the mail that goes with club membership.

Gotta ask - although I know I'm gonna regret it...

How does the stalemate rule allow idiots to win undeserved games?

It's not their luck they got stalemated. It was YOUR move that got them stalemated. You did it, not them. And no, it would not be a checkmate if it weren't a stalemate. How would you NOT stalemating your opponent result in checkmate? Checkmate requires check. 

Checkmate and stalemate aren't about how much material someone has or doesn't have. It's about being in check and not being able move, or, not being in check and not being able to move. Regardless of how much material each side has. 

Look on the bright side, post 27 and 30 gave us all a laugh. And isn't that the whole point of any game, to have fun?

What does FIDE have to do with it? Stalemate was already universally recognized as an automatic draw as long ago as the year 1820. FIDE was only formed in 1924, more than 100 years later.

Which is easier to believe.... that FIDE has a time machine, or that you screwed up?

If you stumble into a stalemate, you probably don't deserve to win anyway.

Avatar of blueemu

In the late 1500s in Spain (and in the 1600s in Russia) stalemate was considered a win for the side that gets stalemated... so you would have LOST that game under the old rules.
