Detailed explanation-1: -Stalemate has 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 an impasse, a deadlock, or a Mexican standoff.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stalemate implies that war terminates in such a way that it fails to provide a solution to the dispute. In other words, stalemate is a distinctive war outcome in that an agreement has been reached among the other outcomes of war except stalemate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stalemate describes a condition in war in which neither side can change the front lines dramatically no matter how hard it tries. WWII never reached stalemate in Europe. The opponents alternated offensive and defensive campaigns but were almost always moving. World War I epitomized stalemate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Colloquially, a stalemate may arise where neither side can gain an advantage because it seems impossible to settle an argument/dispute. In economics, the impasse is known as the Nash Equilibrium – involving interactions of different participants where neither party can gain a winning strategy.
Detailed explanation-5: -Stalemate: deadlock in which neither side is strong enough to defeat the other.
