It’s a rule that makes checkmating an opponent harder because you always have to worry about stalemating and your opponent can try to save the game by being stalemated.

If your opponent is not in check but cannot legally make a move, the position is a stalemate and the game is a draw. The white king cannot move.

hmm thats frustrating. I thought I would win since he/she can not make a move. A draw seems unfair 
but thanks for the reply Nikki

It’s a rule people argue about, but it is a rule. It forces you to be more careful about how you attack and gives your opponent hope even when there seems to be none.
I mean it’s not checkmate, right? But your opponent can’t do anything, right? You technically can never deliver checkmate because it can never happen.

The king would have to be in check and cannot move anywhere for it to be mate

This is the frustration new players often face when ending a game - "I have so many pieces and I should win!"
Stalemate exists to provide the weaker side with a defence of drawing a game.
Hi from the situation below, why is this a stalemate and why did the game end? I would have chessmated him in a couple of moves with the two rocks... Was the limit of moves reached? I dont understand.
Thanks yall
