@badsalad313 because black cannot make a legitamite move without capture, checkmate only occurs if the king is already threatened and his next move equals capture. Also if you look closely at 4:07, it is a draw because if he moves to any direction, its capture. And if he goes for the pawn its capture.

@BigLamLam well it's called a stalemate which occurs when the king is not checked but it can't move anywhere else when it is its turn. So it counts as a draw.

@radeon9700pro Ooh so even though no matter where the black king moves, he'd be taken, this is a stalemate because it's his turn, he's not currently under attack, and there's nowhere he can go? COOL that makes sense, thanks :)

[radeon9700pro]

@badsalad313 The black king isn't in check. Therefore no checkmate.

[badsalad313]

Wait a minute, at 4:05 isn't that pretty much a checkmate? I don't see how it can be a draw, but correct me if (and I probably am) wrong :)
