Comments.Text: @BrianTowers I don't think not checking other questions was the problem here; OP (incorrectly) thought there were three legal moves and thus that stalemate did not apply.

Title: How is this game a draw?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-06-19)
  
  I was watching some YouTube videos, and I stumbled upon this game:
  
  ```
  [Event "?"]
  [Site "?"]
  [Date "????.??.??"]
  [Round "?"]
  [White "?"]
  [Black "?"]
  [Result "*"]
  [WhiteELO "?"]
  [BlackELO "?"]
  [SetUp "1"]
  [FEN "5r2/8/pRP5/P5pP/3pk1P1/3p4/3K4/8 w KQkq - 0 1"]
  
  1. c7 Rf2+ 2. Ke1 d2+ 3. Kxf2 d1=Q 4. Re6+ Kd3 5. c8=Q Qd2+ 6. Kg1 Qc1+ 7. Qxc1
  
  ```
  
  After `6. Kg1 Qc1+!! 7. Qxc1` the game is draw. But how? Black still has three legal moves: `a7`, `d5`, `g6`.
  
  Can anyone explain me how this game is a draw (I checked with chess.com and lichess.org, and several others too)?

  Black is stalemated. There is no legal move. The Queen takes out the c file, the Rook takes out the e file, the Pawn blocks d4, and the Queen covers d2. None of the Black Pawns can move. The Black Pawns move down the board and are all blocked.
