Napoleon was after all exiled to Elba with no men and made a come back! (but didn't from St Helens.) He must have used some Elba grease, eh.

This has got to be one of the best stalemates ever engineered.

63. QxQ stalemates! Not really. It's a good engineered
draw , certainly. But it's not a forced stalemate. White can just walk away. Black then swaps queens and white has nothing, but... it's not a stalemate. IMO, the best stalemate ever should be a forced stalemate, not just a forced draw.
