  sakredkow: I know there's been a lot of draws but this stalemate is worth seeing.
Aug-22-19  frankumber: ouch!
Aug-22-19  ewan14: Nice , nice
Aug-22-19  Parachessus: Interesting. It's a stalemate by black not to keep from losing, but a stalemate to get a clearly drawn game over faster.

Stalemate with 10 pieces left on the board in an OTB game is pretty rare. Navara vs Shirov, 2009 beats it with 12

Very similar finish.

Any advance on 12?

Well, there is this one:

J Hohmeister vs T Frank, 1993

All pieces left on the board!

Aug-23-19  Parachessus: I thought that traditionally pawns are not called "pieces," that if you want to refer to all the units on the board you use the term "chessmen."
