Black has no legal move, which is an automated draw by design. Every move at Black's hand would result in its king in check.

    You might want to study the rules of chess a bit.

    It's called stalemate. If a player has no legal move, and is not in check, then it's a draw. You could play a game with different rules if you like (but it wouldn't be standard chess). If you want to know historically why or how that became the rule, you could google "history of stalemate" or start from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalemate#History_of_the_stalemate_rule
