Can you move into stalemate

Answer 1

There are several ways; here's one:

1. Nc3 Nc6

2. Nb1 Nb8

3. Nc3 Nc6

4. Nb1 Nb8

5. Nc3 Nc6 Stalemate.

There's a rule in Chess that if players repeat the same moves three times in a row a draw can be agreed. There are no conditions on this, so the above move sequence on a freshly setup board is perfectly legal.

Answer 2

Stalemate is when you either have no more pieces left or the only pieces you have are pawns and they are all blocked by your opponents' pieces. Your king is not in checkmate but any of the spaces he would move would put him into checkmate. Thus you have no moves but still haven't been checkmated and a stalemate is declared. Which means it is not possible to move into it because your opponent can easily free up space for your king and you will not be stalemated. However, it is possible to lure your opponent into stalemating you by offering pieces which they may capture and block off available squares for your king to move to in which case it would be a stalemate.

Answer 3

To get a stalemate, you must get your oppenents king into a position where he cannot move without being taken (although not in check). Note that if somebody gets a stalemate, it is because their only remaining piece remaining is their king. You cannot use stalemate if they have and extra pawn, knight, bishop, rook, or queen.

And you can also get stalemate if the only remaining pieces is both of the kings.
