Stalemate is when a player has no legal moves but is not in check thus he can't move anything. There is no skipping turns in chess so a stalemate is used to end the game as a draw if that situation arises.

Yes, it is true that in chess, when played perfectly by both players, the game will always end in a draw due to the limited number of possible moves and outcomes.
The Fifty-Move Rule : the fifty move rule is among the least understood rules in chess . This rule essentially states that if no progress is made after fifty moves by both players then the game is declared a draw . Progress is defined by the capture of any piece, or the movement of a pawn . If fifty moves by each player are made without either of these events occurring then either player may claim a draw .
No, stalemate is a chess term, meaning an end with no winner. As long as the Cold War lasted and both sides were still able to one-up each other, it was not a stalemate.
The opponent can resign if he thinks his situation is unwinnable, though technically that's just ending the game early before an impending checkmate.
A game of drafts, also known as checkers, can end in a draw if neither player can force a win due to a lack of available moves or if both players agree to a draw after reaching a stalemate position. Additionally, if the same position occurs three times during the game, a player can claim a draw based on the "threefold repetition" rule. Finally, if a player runs out of time but their opponent does not have enough pieces to checkmate, the game can also be declared a draw.
