Что это значит
Stalemate happens when the player to move is not in check but has no legal move. The game ends immediately in a draw.
Почему это важно
It saves lost positions and ruins won positions. Many winning players throw away the full point by trapping the enemy king without giving check.
Как это применить
- 1When winning, always check whether the opponent has at least one legal move before making a quiet move.
- 2Keep a safe king square or a movable pawn available instead of capturing everything automatically.
- 3When losing, look for stalemate resources by sacrificing pieces, blocking your own pawns, or forcing the opponent to remove your last legal moves.
