Rb2+ { If you look carefully, you'll notice that none of the black pieces other than the rook can move. So to "stalemate" itself, black needs to get rid of its rook and not place itself under a check. } 76. Kxa5 Rb5+ { If the white king kills the rook at b5, it's a stalemate! } 77. Ka6 Rb6+ 78. Kxb6 { 1/2-1/2 The game is a draw. } { White can either quickly finish the game by accepting the draw, i.e., by capturing the rook, or continue receiving checks. } { [%csl Rg6,Rh4] } 1/2-1/2
