The point is that white can make a move that doesn't leave black in stalemate, so it isn't a solution.
yes that is exactly what I said about the first towo puzzle can prevent stalemate
New rule: no "trapped kings" like this:
Krakotoan's:Nc4 Na4 Ra4
all prevent stalemate...
Huihuithepoodle's:Re5 Qc5
Do you really say they win but they did not...
Thanks @tacticspotter, I completely missed them!
Here's a position that I made awhile ago in which the Black king is alone. How many forced stalemating moves are there?
I counted 104 moves that force a stalemate.

Almost! You're hot hot hot on the trail!
This time I counted 105. I must have miscounted the first time.
That is correct.
Cool puzzle @RewanDemontay. Thanks for sharing it.
@RewanDemontay: how many can you get when black isn't stalemated before white's move?
Note that RewanDemontay's position is legal! The last moves were: Pb5xc6++ Kb7-a8.

Here's 15 with an extra bishop!
