Not sure if this CV ought to be tagged for stalemating being a loss for player who delivers it - here's a section of the Rules Section of this Rules Page:
"There is some controversy about stalemate. It is an important question because the richness of Losing Chess stems from the possible endgames. The following three rules are the most popular.
1.Stalemate is a win for the stalemated player. (International rules)
2.Stalemate is a draw. (AISE rules)
3.Stalemate is a win for the player who has fewer pieces left. If both have the same number, the game is drawn. The type of pieces makes no difference. (FICS rules)"
Perhaps International rules on stalemate should be given precedence all the same, though!?
