Cliff Teaches Chess - Beware Of Stalemate Traps - An Unlikely Stalemate
Channel: Cliff Hulcoop Official
Date: 2022-04-13

I was losing badly. I only had a king and a rook. The king looked trapped. It looked only a matter of time before I would be checkmated.
As my opponent had some pawns they could easily try to trade rooks and then get a queen.
How could I stop them?
Would greed get the better of my opponent? Is there a way to stop them winning and get a draw?
This is an extremely unlikely stalemate I spotted and hoped they would fall for, which they did.
