In the following diagram from your
site, if white moves Bxb5 then
is stalemate according to the FIDE rules: -5.2 "The game is drawn when the player to move has no legal move and his King is not in check. The game is said to end in 'stalemate'. This immediately ends the game."
White to move and mate in one move
In other words, the black pieces have no possibility of movement and
since white pieces cannot check the
King, it is a draw.
Thanks,
See ya.

Dear viewer,
We believe the position is from our Chess Problems
(Mate in 1)
page.
The answer to this problem is linked to the very last move
black pieces have just made.
The following diagram shows the previous move
black made to arrive to the above position shown in your e-mail:
White to move and mate in one move
The b7-b5 move made by black enables the a5 white Pawn to
capture it in passing (en passant), placing himself on b6 square
and checkmating the black King.
