One more issue has come up. Suppose that a player makes a first move that leaves him with no legal second move. Does this end his turn like a checking move would, or does it end the game in a draw? Pritchard says in Popular Chess Variants, "A player who is not in check and cannot complete his turn is stalemated." This suggests the latter, but he could have said it more explicitly if that is what he meant. Is there any consensus on how being unable to move on the second move should be handled?
