Detailed explanation-1: -Stalemate is a tie game. Also known as a Draw. 3 ways to stalemate: insufficient material (not enough firepower), no legal moves, and three-fold repetition. Well, there’s one more – 50 king moves with no other legal moves – but this almost never occurs outside of scholastic tournaments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stalemate is a kind of draw that happens when one side has NO legal moves to make. If the king is NOT in check, but no piece can be moved without putting the king in check, then the game will end with a stalemate draw!
Detailed explanation-3: -Stalemate is from an Old French word, estal, which means “place, position, or stand.” To be in a stalemate with an opponent is to be in a locked position, or a stalled place, where neither player can make a profitable move.
