You play a close game where it's pawn + king vs. solo king. You do all the right moves up until the very last one and get your queen. Boom, stalemate. It's pretty easy to force. The opponent can't move. Why is that your problem? Stalemate should be abolished. Period.

Some people say that if the king cannot move and is not in check then it is stalemate regardless of whether or not there are other pieces that can move. You can explain the rule, emphasize the ability of other pieces to move, and show the rule in the rulebook, and they will still argue that your interpretation of the rule is wrong.

Then you set the board up in the initial position and ask if it is stalemate because the king cannot move. So far that has always worked for an explanation.

I know I’m late to the party but sheesh. Chess rules have been set in stone for 1500 years. It’s not gonna be chess.com that changes this.

changing this basic rule changes 1500 years of history.
