_Stalemate._ (See Diagram on page 30.)
Here you observe that White has the great advantage of a Queen against a Rook;
but with all this, and the move to boot, it is impossible for him to do more
than draw the game. It is evident that he cannot move his Queen from the front
of his King on account of exposing him to check with the Rook. If he move his
King, Black takes the Queen, and the game is drawn. And lastly, if he take the
Rook with his Queen, he places the adverse King in the position before described
of stalemate.
