Perhaps the most satisfying stalemate ever

Will there ever be a stalemate as good as this one.

It felt to me like I'd basically won the game at the end.

Truly is something

This is why we need to keep stalemate as a rule.

It was such an easy victory for my opponent as well, but they thought they were teaching me a lesson by keeping the game going, all they did was enable me to achieve stalemate.

@urkedcrow that's exactly what my opponent foolishly tried to do. In reality they should have just gone for mate as soon as possible.

lol this happened to me today..! i thought my opponent was going to mate me any second but they kept going and going until it was stalemate 😂 not complaining

@queen_sloth it's so satisfying isn't it.

News just in, my opponent has offered to show the game on his YouTube channel to promote the dangers of elongating games unnecessarily.

Interesting

u should have promoted horseys

@infestationPit I'm assuming because he has beaten enough rated players to move his elo into that range.

@urkedcrow it isn't dull. You see most people would have just mated me in that situation, but my opponent had the deluded idea he was teaching me a lesson and messed it up giving me the draw. It's so satisfying.

You are an 1800, why did you just LET him trap your rook

Great

You still lose the exchange, but at least its not a full rook

@rychessmaster I completely missed that knight run towards the rook, was too busy trying to force a king side attack

Missing ND8 I get that, but you shoulda seen his idea after he played Nd8 

TheCalculatorKid

When you're blinkered and in tunnel vision with the attack, every defensive move is not a priority.

This is why you don't have to promote three quenns if it's not needed
