What is the Stalemate Rule? I have played multiple games where they have ended in a stalemate draw. I have never understood exactly why it happens. https://www.chess.com/live/game/80089910667 Here is a game where I am checking the King and taking his pieces. How is it a stalemate?

Stalemate is when it is one player's turn to move, their king is not in check and they have no legal moves. That is a draw by stalemate.

In that game the white king is not in check and the player has no legal moves.

When you are not on check and you can’t move anywhere cause it’ll be a check
