I agree. Although I understand why it would be a nice name for the final episode of the season, 'Stalemate' is more fitting. It's not like either of them exactly win the game.

Yup, I'm also fond of Stalemate. Desperado would also be fitting.

Well, it does seem that Beato is defeated. It's more like she threw the game than an actual stalemate.

Which is why I also think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desperado_(chess) would be fitting.

So to match "Be. Mom. Ever." are we going to get "Best. Dad. Ever." out of Kinzo?

Best Grandpa Ever sounds more fitting :P

But yeah Stalemate is more fitting, because even though Beato does give up she isn't actually defeated because Battler didn't solve the final riddle, hence why EP 5 exists and everything didn't end with EP 4.
