Stalemate!!!!! Morozevich-Mamedyarov (Moscow, 2006)
You may think that Stalemate occurs only on the "patzer" games. Well, the following example will prove you wrong:Morozevich-Mamedyarov (Moscow, 2006)
W: Kf5, Qh5, Ne4.
B: Kg1, Qe3
Q+N vs Q is supposed to be a draw. However, defending for many moves is a rather unpleasant task that occasionally even GMs fail to achieve. Moro appears to be close to converting his material advantage. Black King is stuck in the corner and mating threats are about to become real. On top of it, black is out of checks. However, Mamedyarov finds a cute way to achieve a draw immediately. Can you find the cute stalemate that he has found?
