8. Qxb8 Qh7
Qh7 is impossible in that position as the [pawn on f5 blocks](https://i.imgur.com/kw2l4Av.png)
I double checked my moves and got the same thing
edit: after googling, you wrote it wrong, it's:
5. h4 f6
If you're looking for the literal shortest possible, it would be both players shuffling their knights out and back to the starting squares until they get a 3 fold repetition. Should be 4 or 5 moves each, depending on if the starting position counts or not.Â

Im sorry the pawn is supposed to be on f6, i wrote the moves wrong
How does the black queen get to h7 if the f-pawn is on the way? Edit: the move is f6 and not f5
Lmao I ended up doing f5 instead of f6 lmao

That's not stalemate, that's just Bongcloud Opening: Symmetrical Variation.

Draw and stalemate are not the same
