Stalemate-If the king is not in check, and the opponent has no legal moves, (pieces, pawns, and/or king) It’s counted as a draw, sry, GG, RIP

I had a Queens king and Castle left, my opponent had a king left, he made 4 consecutive same movement, I was going to go in for the kill and then…it was a draw😵💫
Might have been a draw by threefold repetition. Can you post a link to the game?
Stalemates are so funny 😂

I think he did...
I’ve gotten stalemates when my opponent can still make moves before one move away from checkmate, not sure if that’s the entire rule behind stalemate

This is a stalemate. Your opponent has no leagl moves.

Aren't you a bit late? A dozen guys have already pointed this out, more than 6 years ago.

That's not possible. Show an example.

I may be misremembering something about the board state I thought of sorry

Do you mean a stalemate or a draw?
A stalemate is a type of draw, but it is not the only type of draw.
If it was a stalemate specifically, it might be the piece you thought could move was pinned.
At a low level, the possibility of stalemate should motivate a player to continue a game even if it's completely hopeless in terms of material, because the chance of it happening is real (making a stalemate with such an advantage is a blunder, but blunders happen all the time at that level).
Of course, when players reach a certain level, they don't even finish the game until checkmate, when the outcome becomes certain, assuming that they know how to checkmate.
But that happened because I left him without any more pieces left rather than the king, shouldn't it count as a Checkmate? It's so unfair to lose with that huge advantage!
Listen, grasshopper, those are the rules. Get used to it.
