I saw this stalemate while watching a 3 0 game on FICS. It's interesting how tactical these games can be =)
Fighting for black draw!
Knight + Pawn not enough for Win!

??? Yes it is. Black wins this easily... You don't need to push the a pawn yet, he can't get to it. Black captures the h-pawn... then manuvers his K to b3, N to c2, and the a-pawn can't be stopped.
Bishop + Rook's Pawn are not enough for Win, if the Bishop had a wrong colour!
In my long practice, I save dozen and dozen games by Stalemate Theme, or at least got a chance, that was avoided by careful partners!
Stalemate Patterns are astonishing surprises for some unexperienced players!
Study the Patterns, and use them! or forget and loose them, if you are careless player...

Actually, I think Jeremy Silman says that endgame is a draw. Its rare cases where the side with the knight+rook pawn win.
I read it a couple of days ago in Silman's Complete Endgame Course.
I think.

Better check again. I doubt Silman got it wrong... It's no draw. If you don't believe me, try to stop my method. Show me how White stops the Black king from getting to b3, then stop the N from c2. Put it in a tablebase, see what you get. Once the K and N are in place it should be obvious the pawn can't be stopped.
It is good, that you actually study the Patterns, but on my next example, you will see, that my partner just resign in a Draw position, that must be a one of two kinds of the Stalemates!
Always looks for your Chances!
White Resign in a Draw Position?
When the Game is on the Action, it is not so easy too calculate a moves on OTB Tournaments, but Correspondent Games allow a time to do it, without a rush!
And anyway the miscalculations and misunderstanding of the board Problems aren't a rare cases uphere...
Nytik -- here's the draw to watch out for... DON'T push the pawn to the seventh rank until it's supported to the eighth:
