Ugh, Lemmy is full of stale content.

(Edit: it's a joke. Stalemate/stale content...I chuckled at, and upvoted, the post.)
- You got 3 posts, no complaining.
  
  Oh I wasn't complaining, I was making a bad joke (the cartoon is a stalemate).
Wait. What rule?
- If the player in turn is not in check but has no valid moves, the game is declared a draw.
- Post before you leave
Stupidest rule in chess.
- It almost never happens randomly, it has to be forced by the losing player and it's not easy to do it so I think it's a valid way of saving the game.
  
  It happens randomly quite often in low elo games
  
  Why
  
  The first part of your comment doesn't justify the second part. But it also isn't true that it rarely happens randomly. It rarely happens randomly in high-ranked games. Bad rules like stalemate have a much stronger effect on low ranked games, which is what most people play.
- You ain't lying bruv
