Stalemate was a term in chess which meant the game had ended in a draw.
In a game between Elska Blayes and V23, Kaston Iago urged Blayes to resign due to an inevitable checkmate but V23 told her she could have forced a stalemate. (AUDIO: Storm Mine)
The word had also been absorbed into the English language to mean a situation where neither party could win.
