I'm
trying to find a game that was stalemated in only 10 moves!
I was hoping you could help because my
friend doesn't believe
it's possible, but
I know I saw
it when I was a kid.
Thanks in advance,

Hello tcthomas,
We found the following:
This amazing game is a stalemate on 10 moves! It was posted on
the rec.games.chess.misc newsgroup by David Barr, who asked:
"Does anyone know the story behind this game? A stalemate in 10
moves. From the bizarre moves made by both players, it looks
like they had all of the moves planned beforehand."
