STALEMATE

"Stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves but is not in check.

Stalemate has also become a widely used metaphor for other situations where there is a conflict or contest between two parties, such as war or political negotiations, and neither side is able to achieve victory, resulting in what is also called a dead heat, standoff, or deadlock. In that usage, unlike in chess, "stalemate" often refers to a temporary impasse that is ultimately resolved."

Nobody wins in this situation; for me both side losses because nothing is gained. What a crappy situation!
