Chess position in which a player is not in check but has no legal move (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stalemate

(Other definitions for stalemate that I've seen before include "Deadlock, impasse" , "Possible chess game ending" , "A no-win situation in chess" , "Blocked position" , "Unresolvable position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
