Was in a position today where black king could not make a legal move and was not in check. My opponent had surrounded me but did not have me in check. I considered this a draw however my opponent argued he had won.
My king was the only piece left on table so my only option was to try and make a legal move but couldnt. All squares surrounding my king were in line of a check position. What is the verdict?

It should be a tie! A tie yes. or a 1/2 score. Your enemy might be mistaken he didnt win he wasnt victorious in killing you. Its a draw! According To Laws of Chess by FIDE. Article No. 16
If a player cannot move any of his pieces and not in check the game shall be over in a case of stalemate or draw.
That should feed you!

This is definitely a stalemate and hence a draw. The criteria is that you should not be in a position to make any legal move, but are not in check. This situation cannot arise if you have any pieces left. However, if you have one or more pawns that are blocked by opponent's pieces or pawns, and your king can't make a legal move, this is a stalemete.

Your game ended in a stalemate, that position in which a king cannot make a legal move that would not put himself in check. According to the Laws of Chess by FIDE, Federation Internationale des Echecs (World Chess Federation), Article16, your position is a draw. That means 1/2 point for both players. Your friend did not win, he drew.

Stalemate is generally deemed a draw. Read the wikipedia article on it, and you will see that in certain situations it can be called a win for the stalemated player.

i'm no longer a astounding participant, yet i'd imagine that once the black king takes your white king, the game is over. the very shown truth that you've a bishop preserving the white king is a moot aspect because once the white king is captured, the game is over.

Your opponent was wrong, it was a Stalemate in international chess. If you were playing Chinese Chess he would have been correct.
