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.

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.
