If a player still has a pawn, this pawn can be promoted to a greater piece (Queen, Bishop, Rook, or Knight -- usually the Queen is chosen) and, if the queen or rook is chosen, this means a win for the player starting with the pawn. Stalemate only occurs if the pawn is captured by the opponent before it can be promoted. Also, if a player is left with only a king and knight, or only a king and bishop, and the opponent only has a king, or a king with either (a bishop or knight), in these situations, it is impossible to bring the opponent to checkmate. Only with the king and a rook or (obviously) with the king and a queen, can checkmate be accomplished.

∙ 12y agostalemate occurs when there are very few pieces left on the board and checkmate can not occur. The kings must be at least one square apart, so if that is the only move your opponent has achieved checkmate and has won

How to draw a bishop vs rook endgame in chess?
Well, the bishop must find a way to capture to rook. Then, it's a stalemate
Will a king and a bishop win a game or will it be a stalemate?
Just a King and a Bishop alone are not enough provided material to be able to finish the game through means of checkmate. Upon entering a position where you only have a King and a Bishop, and your opponent as well does not have sufficient material; the game will immediately be considered a draw.
How many chess moves without capture for a stalemate when you have a king and the other player has two queens and a king?
A "stalemate" does not depend on the number of moves. A stalemate occurs when the king no longer has a legal move or where one opponent has a king and a knight or bishop against a lone king. This is because a king and a single minor piece like the bishop or knight cannot checkmate the king. Since checkmate is impossible, the rules declare it a stalemate. On the other hand, a "draw" may be declared if after 50 moves there is no capture AND if no pawn has been moved during those 50 moves. Although a stalemate and a draw amount to the same thing in practicality, they do have different terminology.

What is a draw in chess called?
There are several situations: Automatic, Agreed upon, Claimed and upheld, Stalemate 1. Automatic Draw: a) If the pieces left are king against king; king against king with only a bishop or knight; or king and bishop against king and bishop, with both bishops on the same colored diagonal b) When a player has only a bare king and the other player oversteps his time, a draw is declared. 2. Agreed upon: The players can agree to a draw for any reasons they choose. 3. Claimed and upheld: a) A player may claim a draw if the position of the pieces is the same for 3 moves. b) A player having the move can claim a draw if it is shown that the last 50 moves have been made by each side without capture of any piece or movement of a pawn. An arbiter reviews the claim and if correct, a draw will be declared. 4. Stalemate When the king of the player having the move is not in check but cannot move his king without placing it in check. Strictly speaking a stalemate is not part of the draw rules but it has the same effect, neither a win nor loss for either side.And it is a draw to be called when the king left only and it can't checkmated by the other player for about 16 moves.
