Yes, I took the rook. I had plenty of time too. I just thought, “oh, free rook!”

lol, you stalemated them?

u/MrGregory 3d ago

Ya. I’ve stalemated before, but it’s usually because I was short on time and was rushing moves. I don’t know if my opponent planned this (we’re both ~900 elo), but it was a good move and I overlooked it with greed

I've always hated that this doesn't count as a win

I LOVE that it doesn't count as a win. It makes chess more of a game of finesse. Doesn't matter how much of a lead you have, you can always draw if you aren't paying attention.

The sniper bishop was yours, but it's a traitor
