Topic	In chess, why is cornering an opponent so they can't move considered a stalemate

So basically in theory you kill their king the next turn but they kill you with their dying breath so you both die. This is also a good point. I dunno the computer science behind this, but it may be that if you are not in check but can't move, the opponent would have to make themselves vulnerable to put you in check. --- http://www.lukesurl.com/comics/2010-02-24-determinism.png <cite>berlyman101 posted [p:937032241] in In chess, ...
