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

    The extra challenge stalemate adds can be interesting, I don’t deny it.

    It’s just that if a player is in a position where they can’t do anything beside suiciding their king, they’re obviously not winning, and it seems a little bit unfair for the other player to consider the situation is equal and that noone can be designated as the winner.

      I’m not sure why it should be considered unfair for a player with a winning position to allow his opponent to escape with a draw by stalemate due to the winning player’s carelessness.

      The position where you have a king, queen, and bishop versus a king is totally winning and all it takes is patience and careful moves to win. The only way the lone king is getting a stalemate is due to carelessness on the part of his opponent.
