The game ends in stalemate if at the start of his turn a player is not in check and has no available legal two move turns and no available legal single move turns.

I'm not sure how to interpret the part I put in boldface. Which of these do you mean?

  1. If a legal first move is not available, but a second move could remove any checks caused by the first move, it is not stalemate.

  2. If there is a legal first move, but it cannot be followed by a legal second move, it is stalemate.

  3. If a player cannot make a legal first move, it is stalemate.
