I presume you're referring to this game:-



Unfortunately for you, your opponent has no legal moves. His pawns are blocked and his king cannot move without putting itself into check. Because he is not currently being checked the position is a stalemate.

Can someone make sure Bowmann reads this as a textbook example of query/polite informative response/thanks?

no, it's the future, to keep it on top until that date is reached.
