I wonder if it is possible to create a stalemate position in which both sides have all their original pieces (no promoted pawns).
Worlds shortest legal draw !

Looks like they messed around and agreed to make a draw.
Hahaha.

@FishGY: There are captures in this game. This is not fair.

Surely a draw can be claimed on the 4th move:
sorry but your wrong :) I already agreed with Dietmar that I meant on the borad draws not draws by agreement and no its not 4th but 5th move.

The Shortest "legal" draw is 1 move by each player. For a game to be official, each player has to have made 1 move, otherwise, it's a forfeiture.
Here's a prime example of the shortest legal draw (and yes, this actually happened):

read the COMMENTS draws by agreement where not what I meant my gosh

But the position is repeated for the third time on the 4th move, the starting position is repeated, that's what counts!
nope only the 2nd time

Those German chess masters knew their history. Here is the original game, which is slightly different and not a game between two chess players, but a beautiful composition of who else then Sam Loyd:
@chessmaster102:
We have the starting position.
1.Nf3 Nf6
2.Ng1 Ng6
We are back at the starting postion.
3.Nf3 Nf6
4.Ng1 Ng8
We are back at the starting position for the third time. The same player was on the move all three times, castling rights were the same, and en passant opportunities were the same. The draw may be claimed.
May be this one would do it:
