I just had an endgame where I'm closely first (60 for me, 59 for second place, 56 for third place). Second place ended up stalemating third place, and I lost the endgame, making me end up third. I was expecting to end up second place, because I was low on material and there weren't enough pieces for third to overtake me. The stalemate made me come in third place.
I don't agree that being stalemated when there are 2 or more players left is a draw. It should be a loss. Of course, my preferred fix for this is that you can't mate people, only king capture (with players being force-resigned if they can't legally move anymore), as noted in other topics.
