In a chess variant I've developed, it is theoretically possible to get into a situation where you are unable to move any of your pieces. In this situation I would like for that to be a loss instead of a stalemate.

Is there a way to get the Zillions engine to assign a defeat instead of a stalemate if a side is unable to move any of his pieces?

I found the following in the help file under the "stalemated" category:

; The Chaos side wins if he has no moves left
(win-condition (Chaos) stalemated)

; The Order side loses if he has no moves left
(loss-condition (Order) stalemated
