Twice in the past few days, I've made a couple of boneheaded mistakes of losing my Queen mid-game.  However, I came back in both games to move into (what should have been) checkmate against my opponent.  Instead it was called "Draw" or "Stalemate". The game analysis told me nothing.  Tell ya what...I'll upgrade my account when I get a SATISFACTORY explanation for those game results.  What the hell is the point of battling back?

Why have you been screwed ? You screwed yourself.

Against wolfman... did you not see that Qh4 left white without a move ? if a player can't make a move without putting him/herself in check then that is stalemate. It's up to you to see that this doesn't happen.

Both of your recent drawn games are stalemates.

Here's a little technique for you to put into practice next time you have an overwhelming advantage against a bare King or bare King and locked pawns:

Keep checking the King until you have checkmate! It's that simple.
