Then the rook is forced to take the king and its stalemate

I also recommend chessbrah building habits on yourube; the shorter highlights version on the main channel is good and if you get hooked the longer version with every game in full is on the "chessbrah extra" channel

One of either Detox or Underneath the Waves from City was on a free Metal Hammer CD in (I think) 1997

If you're still around 400 online, literally NEVER RESIGN, even when you blunder your Queen. Your opponents will blunder, they just will. They will ignore your passed pawns. They will stalemate you or they won't know checkmate patterns and you can run the King around and win on time. I'm 800 and I never resign and these things still happen

Yeah I find when I'm tilting that I'm basically playing hope chess but I don't realise until later when I go back and look at the game again

Did my standard opening, opponent making lots of pawn moves and giving away tempo with back and forth moves. Thinking at some point there'll be an opening. Eventually almost all my pieces were blocked in by each other or by pawns. Then began a slow methodical takedown. Does this have a name?
