Source unknown, some sites assign it to Oppressive Silence comics by Ethan Vincent. But that website in the corner is shady

    Stalemates and forcing draws are pretty important imo as someone who dosen’t play and only watch. It’s gave the game a twist that let the losing player a way to fight back from a loosing position to a draw (that feels like a win).

      They are an important part of the game, but they aren’t a good twist. If you got rid of stalemate, then the losing player would just resign. Nothing wrong with that in a game that’s effectively over.

      I can understand that if you don’t play the fucking game you don’t mind the trapped safe king.
