it is stupid
I think it's good and follows from the basic rule of each player having to take a turn and the king being unable to move into check. Most stalemates are because a player isn't paying enough attention or is playing to quickly. Also, many drawn endgames would not be drawn if it wasn't due to stalemate as well.
Then, a player being able to find a forced stalemate, is pretty interesting sometimes. ![]()
