What is Stalemate?
Stalemate is a kind of draw that happens when one side has NO legal moves to make. If the king is NOT in check, but no piece can be moved without putting the king in check, then the game will end with a stalemate draw. Trying to trick your opponent into a stalemate is a valid strategy when you’re far behind on pieces. Moving into the corner or positioning yourself behind an opponent’s pawn are some ways to cause a stalemate if your opponent isn’t careful.
