Introduce Stalemate.

A stalemate happens when it is a player’s move, his or her King is not in check, yet no legal move can be
made. When stalemate occurs, the game results in a draw, meaning each player gets half a point. That can
be very disappointing for the side which has a big advantage. Make sure you do your best to avoid
stalemate when you are in a winning position.
