Draw on board (9)
I believe the answer is:
stalemate
This might be a double definition.
'draw' is the first definition.
(I know that stalemate is a type of draw)
'board' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stalemate that I've seen before include "Inglorious deadlock" , "Blocked position" , "Deadlock, impasse" , "Possible chess game ending" , "Possible outcome of chess game" .)
