"Stalemate in... a lot of moves!"

Submitted by rubyflyer on Wed, 11/19/2008 at 5:04pm.

In this game, I made many critical mistakes losing pieces. As you can see, I was down a bishop and a knight (along with many pawns. But then, my oppenent made a critical mistake, allowing me to draw. My opponent moved his bishop from d3 to b1. If he had moved to b1 with his rook on b3, it would have been checkmate! I personally think it was a nice stalemate strategy game for me. (Note: I know this game didn't have to be that long, but that was how the game was played.)

Black is running away becuase if black takes the rook, it would be stalemate. Black has a completely winning position and doesn't want to give it up, so runs away. Also, note that if even one piece moves to take the rook, it would still be stalemate.
