Let's play some chess#3

  • Black queen moves to f2 and white has been stalemated.

Since white is unable to move, it is not possible \color{#3D99F6} \boxed{\text{it is not possible}} for black to checkmate the white king.

I would add that the black queen is pinned along the diagonal to the black king. So any other legal black move would allow white to win the game!

Nice problem.
