What is your chess rating? Fav opening? Wanna play?

You can move knight d3 to b4.
The king would be forced to move to e1.
From there he can only move to d2
If nothing else, he will stalemate after repeating that move several times.

Realistically, when the king goes back to d2 pawn e2 moves to e1 (promoted to queen) for a checkmate.

N2s
 
Yes, N3b4 could start a sequence to force a draw by repetition. But you made me realize that N5b4 is another one move stalemate I hadn't thought of yet. There is another one move to stalemate in addition to the Nc3 and N5b4. Pawns don't have to promote to Queens.... c1=N is a stalemate in one move as well (or in plain spoken words, pawn to c1, promote to knight).

Anyway, I know chess puzzles are usually "look for the best move", not "look for how to deliberately stalemate a winning position". 🤣
 
Actually, looks like N5 can go anywhere and it's a stalemate.
