Stalemate

A Stalemate is achieved when there aren’t any pieces to move legally during that turn without putting the king in check. Stalemate falls under a type of Draw.

An example of a stalemate is shown below. The blue dots represent the squares that the Knight is covering, the purple dots shows what squares the Rook is covering, and the green dots represent what squares the Bishop is covering.
