The stalemate rule is dumb and needs more revision. It should be considered a war crime.

#20, it’s easy for beginners to make that mistake.

No, I understand why I stalemated. I had too many pieces and didn't calculate before moving my queen. That's my point. The opponent was effectively done for. It's a dumb rule. Without this technicality they can't win, objectively.

Stalemate is like 50 move rule, if you don’t know how to checkmate or are just plain stupid- you don’t get the win.

I think you are stupid for not getting the point of this thread. DoNt kNoW hOw To ChEcKmAtE. That's not why most stalemates happen. They happen because of too many pieces on the board and a stupid amount of calculation required to finish an opponent who is objectively done for.
Easy to call people stupid when you can't admit you're just plain wrong. A stupid rule is a stupid rule. If I wipe the floor with you and you're 20 points down and have only a king, not resigning and relying on a technicality to scrape by is valid, but makes you a garbage player.

They arnt “objectively done for” if clearly they arnt because an idiot like you is going to stalemate. Just make your next move freaking check and you don’t even have to worry about it, that’s what I do!

And I think the garbage player would be the one to get to being 20 points up and then blunder it all due to stalemate.

You sound like the type of idiot who runs the down the clock and refuses to resign wasting everyones time. You are a special kind of stupid, and your wins by luck only serve to deepen your absolute stupidity after losing the entire game. Congratulations. Stop begging me to play you, I don't play sore losers.

It’s not a stupid rule. It’s a good rule that makes the game what it is. That’s like saying en passant is a stupid rule

Disagree. That's dumb luck. Garbage players are clowns who don't know when to be professional and just resign. Keep relying on dumb luck. I bet you love casinos don't you.

Stalemate is important in the game. If someone makes a mistake, they miss the chance to win and the opponent gets a draw, saves their rating (if rated) and this is a perfect rule.

How is EN PASSANT the same as stalemating??! You are sounding stupider by the second.
One is a mechanism in the game that allows for tactics and broadens the midgame, and the other is a cheap way for losers like you to scrape a draw.

#27, bro I’m higher rated than you. A lot higher rated. Like it or not speed chess exist, I know somebody slow like you doesn’t play it but stalemate it’s important for speed chess. Quit trying to get rid of it because you can’t figure out how to checkmate with 20 more material in 1 minute. Do a chess.com lesson on how to checkmate, I suggest starting by learning the ladder checkmate

Imagine trying to sound condescending when you are a bullet player, literally relying on muscle memory and not real chess. You are a couple of hundred points above me, stop talking down to me like you are anything special. You're a scrub compared to a serious player, as am I. Ditch the ego and understand how to resign games instead of begging for dumb luck.

En passant is the same as stalemating because it is a KEY part of the game and removing it would completely change the game. Additionally, HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU PLANNING TO GET EVER CHESS PLAYER ON EARTH TO AGREE WITH YOUR RULE CHANGE!? Just because you suck at the game and stalemate doesn’t mean people want to remove it.

Wait you're actually a whopping 30 points above me in rapid, AKA real chess. So maybe go learn how to win a bit more before trying to sound good at chess.

It didn't take every player on earth to agree the first time the rule was changed you absolute neanderthal. It wouldn't change anything, just gives points differently you block of cheese.
