| | Stalemate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves but is not in check. | | | However, in certain chess variants, such as suicide chess, stalemate is not necessarily a draw, and is deemed a win for either (a) the player with fewer pieces (a draw results if the players have the same number of pieces) or (b) the stalemated player. | | | Stalemate is an important factor in the endgame - the set-up in the top-right of this diagram, for example, quite frequently occurs in play, and the position in the bottom-left is an example of a pawn being worth as much as a queen. |

| | Under this stalemate rule, game 5 of the world championship would probably have ended on move 23 in a stalemate agreement. | | | Both players split the point and are award.5. | | | Why should players with the advantage of a pawn in an endgame, play a long endgame for a ¼ point more. |

| | Stalemate Lines are Crap! by John Boyer |
| | The almost good players are good tacticians and study stalemate lines - but they play defensively and do not worry about the real game. | | | My game style is different from that of the player who would employ a stalemate line. | | | There is thus far less likelihood of stalemates or draws forming in the game. |

| | Chess: Stalemate |
| | Before reading this topic, I though that a stalemate means that the player who can't move lose automatically the game. | | | I was under the illusion that stalemate was after a player looses all of rooks, queen, bishops, and knights, there is a certain number of moves before a stalemate. | | | So, it's a pleasure seeing the way that great masters use to stalemate to draw a game in which their probabilities to win are obviously lesser than the opponnents' ones. |

| | Question regarding stalemate |
| | There is no such rule stating that if one player has only his King remaining the other player has only 8 moves to check mate him or it is a stalemate. | | | The rules of Chess state that if "within the last 50 consecutive moves have been made by each player without the movement of any Pawn and without the capture of any piece, the game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move." | | | If a player has enough pieces to perform a mate, he can take as many as 50 consecutive moves to mate the opponent's King. |

| | Stalemate |
| | When a player has no legal move available due to a lack of pieces, or being immobilized or blocked, or that in his next move he is forced to expose his King to check, it is a Stalemate and the game is declared a Draw. | | | It happens when a player does not have any legal move but he is not either in check. | | | As you can see, the white Pawns have no play since they are blocked, white King cannot move to his right without being attacked by the black Bishop, nor to the left or diagonal left squares because they are controlled by the black King neither ahead as the black Pawn on f3 prevents it. |

| | Stalemate |
| | If they can't win a conflict relatively quickly and easily, people often get tired and want to give up. | | | The term stalemate refers to the point at which the parties are using the maximum force possible (or the maximum that they are willing to use), yet neither side is able to prevail in the conflict. | | | Often, they observe contentious tactics that work early in the conflict are not as effective later on, as the parties get to know just how far the other will go and how they can counter any offensive effectively. |
