gp469 white to move, only 1 legal move, and stalemate no matter what black does. That is not the position, what was white's last move? if white plays h3, then the king can go to h2
I'm sure @Sarg0n can give you plenty of such positions.
Don’t know if I got it right. Sorry, a bit cheap...

(A common example in some version or other)
If White plays 1.Rxc7+ and then his flag falls... The arbiter declares the game drawn!

@sandstad nice!!! very nice, unavoidable stalemate 3 moves in advance!! the first move for white is not forced though.
@Sandstad
This makes me wonder what is the largest possible number of forced moves that result in a stalemate.

@President_DonaldDuck nice question
@eulerian nice thread. I learnt some interesting ideas.
I bet the answer to my question is surprisingly large, but I have no idea really lol.

@President_DonaldDuck: You can add quite a lot of Black knights and White rooks to my example
