Answers.Text: It's called *stalemate*. If a player has no legal move, and is not in check, then it's a draw. You could play a game with different rules if you like (but it wouldn't be standard chess). If you want to know historically why or how that became the rule, you could google "history of stalemate" or start from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate#History_of_the_stalemate_rule
