Game Pigeon Chess Stalemate

Refers to having a pointless debate with somebody utterly ignorant of the subject matter, but standing on a dogmatic position that cannot be moved with any amount of education or logic, but who always proclaims victory.
Origin:
'Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon; it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.' -- Scott D. Weitzenhoffer (From an Amazon.com book review)

Man, trying to explain to those moon landingdeniers that the Apollo program was real is like playing pigeon chess -- all they do is knock the pieces over and crap on the board.

Chess does NOT have soldiers!! Chess has a king. Chess has a queen. Chess has a rook. Chess has a bishop. Chess has a knight. Chess has a pawn. Chess also has specific squares, like a4, b7, c3, d8, e1, f5, g3, h6. You wont get ANY advice from ME unless you know what the hell your talking about!!

comes from an anonymous quotation to the effect that 'debating a (whoever) is like playing chess with a pigeon - it knocks over the peices, defecates on the board, and then flies back to its flock to brag about how it won'

when groups play games with their pigeons (pigeons are losers who hang around a group and do everything the group tells them to because they think they are being accepted) like making their pigeons annoy eachother and even fight and it becomes a game for the entertainment of two or more groups that have pigeons

kid: i think that one group over there is playing pigeon chess with that other group cause last week one pigeon took another pigeons boxers off and threw them on the roof and today one pigeon just stole the another ones lunch

Stalemate Rules, Fifty Move Rule:
Part of the Chess Endgame Guide (Section 2: Stalemate)

Stalemate
- Fifty Move Rule -

The first 49 Moves you see in the clip were actual moves from a game, played in 1991, between Anatoly Karpov (White) and Garry Kasparov (Black), albeit, at this stage, they were between Moves 62 to 112! ...
Their game was a proper epic, which actually took in a whopping 115 Moves ... and, appropriate for this topic, ended in a Draw.
While they chose not to end it by completing the 50 Move Rule, for this example, I've added what might have been made, to implement that Rule. This long, drawn out, 50 Move saga probably explains why Stalemate by the Three-time Repetition Rule was devised: you still get a Draw - a Stalemate - but you now have time to nip to the vending machine for another coffee.

This is one of the first Rules people hear about, concerning how games of Chess are Drawn.

Pigeon On A Chess Board

Basically, the Fifty-move Rule states that: '... a player can claim a Draw if no capture has been made and no Pawn has been moved in the last fifty consecutive moves (fifty moves by each side).'

If that player can reach the 50th move, with his King having evaded Checkmate throughout, what could have been a Loss will result in a Draw and, effectively, ½ a point salvaged, as a result.
