DEADLOCK POSITION ?

Sort:
CHUCKMATE

Is it possible to have a chess board position where the player has no possible place to move ?

Loomis
Yes. This is called a stalemate and the result of the game is a draw.

If you could somehow find a way to get into this position, then I will say yes.

I would be impressed if you could get INTO that position :D

 I think the player has at least one move left. 1. Hospital

If the same heavy chessboard falls on a player and no one hears it, does it still win even after declaring checkmate?

A more realistic stalemate scenario (be sure to read the notes and move list):

wow @Fromper that's impressive to do in less than 40 moves (a bit of a stretch, but 39 moves is still nice!)
