In Chess

A stalemate is a condition in which neither side can win, and so it is when it ends a game of Chess. If the player to move cannot make any move without putting his king into check (jeopardy of being taken) and the King is not already in check, it's called a "stalemate." It's considered a tie game.

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 this usage, unlike in chess, "stalemate" often refers to a temporary impasse that may ultimately be resolved.

The word "stalemate" literally, "a deadlock" or "draw" occurs in a chess game when one player can not move make a legal move. (note - a king is not allowed to put it's self in check) As you can not pass your turn to the other player, the game ends in a draw. Another way to stalemate is when a position is repeatedly achieved three times in a row. Thus, ending in a draw.

It is also considered a stalemate if both players have gone 50 moves without capturing a piece or advancing a pawn.

Also if all the pieces are gone and it's just one-on-one with the kings.

A stalemate occurs when your opponent's king is in such a position where it is not actually in check, but the only legal move left to your opponent is one where the king puts itself in check. This situation commonly occurs when your opponent has nothing but the king left or nothing but the king and pawns, which are blocked. The only piece that can make a move to another square is the king, but if that move puts his own king in check, it is a stalemate. Think of a stalemate in terms of what a checkmate is. Checkmate is when you put the other player's king in check in such a way that there is no legal move the opponent can make to get out of check. Stalemate is when you put the other king in a non-check position, but it cannot move anywhere without placing itself in check. This is usually a very frustrating mistake and often happens just as you are about to checkmate the king, but overlook the stalemate possibility by losing sight of all your own pieces.

The term stalemate in chess means that one player has no legal moves on his/her turn, thus ending the game in a draw. To stalemate someone is when the player who has legal moves moves in such a way that their opponent may not make a legal move for their turn.

Either both of the player's win or both don't. It depends on how you look at it. Is the glass half empty or half full. I have heard that in chess, when you loose, you learn something. When you win, you may learn something along the way.

Think of what you may gain, then it may be a winning experience.

A stalemate occurs when there is no possible winner. In other words, a deadlock. In chess, it means one of the players cannot move their king without placing it in check.

Stalemate is when the player who has the move has no legal move, but is not in check. When this happens, the game is declared a draw.
