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

    That’s only true because Kings can’t move into check. This is an unnecessary rule that, like stalemate, makes little difference to high level players, but is a bad rule for low level players.

      You seem to have a thing for calling anything beyond absolute beginners “high level”. Stop it.

        You’d call most people who play chess “absolute beginners”. Most people would hang their king if they could and would never remember the stalemate rule until it was too late.

          No, they wouldn’t. Anyone who’s been playing for like a month knows how to prevent a stalemate.
