Note - I did really well that game! Such a shame it was cut off before I could finish it.

Stalemate is a term in chess where the opponent has no move they can make without being put in check. It’s important to make sure that every move you make when mating is either a check or leaves room open for the king to move. You can’t turn this off because it is a rule used in all chess

SpacePodz did a nice job of explaining stalemate, but you should probably read the article as well.

I was playing against a bot earlier. I was about to checkmate it and then my game was cancelled because of "stalemate". Is there any way to fix this? This isn't the first time.

This is a chess rule, not an optional thing.
