I also am the same. I can have the advantage-more pieces, better pieces, and still get a stalemate. Also I do not understand why a stalemate sometimes...is it the clock runs out? I can still move...they can still move...why a stalemate? I am just moving back and forth and they are just continuously moving away and away...my endgame is ridiculous. Seriously.
There's several reasons for a stalemate: too few pieces to checkmate one another, 100-move limit, and I think if the King has no place to move is considered a stalemate (or is that just a draw?).
It really helps to do checkmate puzzles here. You begin to recognize checkmates easier, and how to work toward them.
No, stalemate is only one specific type of a draw.
You were confusing stalemate with draw in general in your post, and some of them you got wrong as well, for instance 100 move limit doesn't exist, there is a 50 move rule for a draw. My advice is to google something like: Types of draws in chess.
But as the topic is stalemate, I will explain that one. Stalemate is a situation where the player's king is not in check, it is his move to play, but there are no legal moves for him to play. As he can't continue the game in any way, and there is no checkmate, there is a stalemate on the board.
ok.
