Hi I am losing a lot of games in blitz to stalemates when I am ahead. What are the rules around this ? Set number of moves ?

No, Stalemate is when one side has no legal moves and isn't in check.  Here's the article...

Glad to help.  Don't know what platform you're on, but on the browser if you run your cursor down to the bottom left; yep, where it says Help, another menu pops up.  If you click on Ask a Question, you get access to all the articles.  It can be a real timesaver.
