can anyone help. in my first game i had my opponent in checkmate,
but the system give the game as a stalemate draw. half move count
was only 16. anyone know any other reasons why this could happen

What was the game's ID number?

hi rhymester, the game id number was 21529. any ideas?

Your last move didn't actually put your opponent in check and left him
with no place to move his solitary King without moving into check - ie:
Stalemate.

I know that you can't win with just a King and a Knight and two knights
looks pretty impossible. I would think that the King spin things out
until the 50 moves had gone by.. unless someone knows a sure fire
way of mating with just two knights?

Thanks, I did not realise that would finish the game as a stalemate, I
obviously do not know the rules very well. I always thought that if you
had the opponents king in a position that they could not move that
would be checkmate, I did not think they had to be in check as well.
Thanks very much for looking at it for me.

Glad to be of help!
