Hi, I'm new to the community and although I know the basic rules of chess, I want to keep learning more and more.
My question is this: Why is this table and not checkmate? Is supposed to have cornered the king and has no movements, although I do have
queen: h1
horse 1: e3
horse2: d3
bishop: c6
and hes king is: g3
It seems the black king can't move and is not under attack. This means that the position is a stalemate and a draw.
That is stalemate.
In order to win the enemy's king needs to be under attack and have no legal move. But if your opponent ever has no legal move available, and his king is not in check, it is a draw.
It should not be, I have the advantage, it does not seem fair
Life isn't fair. Rules are rules.
It's a stalemate. Quit complaining.
After you blow a few won games with stalemates, you learn to watch out for them.
Yes . Hard way to learn Stalemates :)
Yes, that happened to me at my school chess club years and years ago, when I was about what would be on lichess now an 800 rated player. It took a while for me to realize this.
I agree with #5, life isn't always fair and of course, rules are rules.
i dont even think the rule is unfair. You have not catched his king, so you dont win, he cant move, so the game cant be continued. Logical result is draw.
