Subject: How is this position stalemate?
I was playing on my phone and got to this:

White Queen on d2
White King on e2
Black King on b3

Black had just captured my last pawn on b3, so it's White's move. But after
Black's move, it said stalemate. How is that?

This is obviously not stalemate, whether it's White's or Black's
move. Black could go to c4, a4, or a3, and White has many legal moves.
There clearly is a bug. Were you playing Sanny's program,
perchance? ;-)

at work. :)

Seems like a download anyway, which I don't want to do at work. I thought it
was just a web-based thing.
