Game Pigeon Chess Stalemate Moves

Playing chess with a pigeon is foolish game. The only good reason to play with pigeon is to find humans that are desperate to find good players, or to learn chess, or to watch good chess. Never try to convince the pigeons, nor worry of losing parties against them. Nov 13, 2020 'Pigeon chess' or 'like playing chess with a pigeon' is a figure of speech originating from a comment made in March 2005 on Amazon by Scott D. Weitzenhoffer regarding Eugenie Scott's book Evolution vs. Creationism: An introduction. Wikipedia states that a stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves but is not in check. Stalemate ends the game, with the result a draw. Often during the endgame the player who is behind in material seeks stalemate in order to avoid losing the game.
