@ Abcd i could have still moved....
Was a stalemate, do we replay?

Already answered this.

Stalemate does not mean tie, it means one opponent cannot move a piece, because he would be putting himself into check/checkmate. Therefore, the person who was put right into that position, has lost. Same thing happened to FireZ, and he even agreed, he lost.

& no, you could not have moved without putting yourself into check/checkmate. You cannot put yourself into check/checkmate. You say you've played for 6 years, you should know these simple things..

I wouldn't have been in checkmate is the point i have pictures.

That doesn't matter. You couldn't have moved no matter what. Therefore, you lost.

Alrighty then, but it's sad you can't accept the fact that you lost.

Guys, a stalemate is a draw, please replay your game.

 

[Purple Smurf]

Stalemates always a draw, its your own fault for being careless in the closing moments of the game. Don't take it out on super and purple for your own mistake.

E.I.01A. Laws of Chess
Article 5: The completion of the game
5.2
a.
The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his king is not in check. The game is said to end in ‘stalemate’. This immediately ends the game, provided that the move producing the stalemate position was legal.

Mate, a stalemate is a draw and a draw is also known as a stalemate. If the game ended with your opponent not being able to move any of his pieces -- and he wasn't checked -- it ended in a draw. This is a basic rule of chess.

Anyway, dorianking will take ABCD's spot if that's okay with Purple Smurf then

Yeah you kind of were you tried calling me out telling me I was wrong and attempting to make me look stupid. Then , I even took the time to message you for a rematch and you didn't even have enough courtesy to message me back at least letting me know you were going to resign.

 

Am I too late to enter this competition chaps? (I could take the place of a banned user on front page list?)

Edit: just seen flow chart of winners, obviously too late to join. Good luck to all remaining!
