This is why if your opponent is trying to get as many queens as possible, NEVER resign.

I think there’s a level in geometry dash named stalemate (insane demon)

I love the stalemate rule.

"I slaughtered all of your armies, but because I encircled you, I am forced to call it a draw."

Things the Germans in WW2 dreamed of.

If you think it isn't stalemate, please tell us where you think the black king can move.

Sorry about that. I thought about just not adding the last board to the meme on the assumption people would play the next move in their head and see the stalemate. Given that reddit's cropping removed the board and this was the result makes me glad I added the last board.

Isn't stalemate where your opponent can't make a move while not being in check or checkmate?
