I think this would be a really interesting option to be able to choose when creating a game on Chess.com. (What I mean is, if you tick like a "No-Stalemate" box, stalemating your opponent counts as a win in the resulting game.)
Is it available already? If so, where do I find it? (I just looked in the "Custom Challenge" menu, but couldn't find it.)
If not, do you think it might be possible to implement it as a new option in the future?
In my opinion, although no-stalemate chess might not be for everyone, it has a legitimate claim to being a better, more fun game than regular chess, so I'm strongly in favor of it least including it as an option on sites like this. (Maybe that might even help it catch on a bit more in offline play!)
This is currently an option using custom variants: https://www.chess.com/variants/custom
I believe it is proper to keep it away from the main chess queueing since stalemate is such an integral part of mainstream chess.
