The first, and most commonly discussed, is when there is no legal move available, but there is also no checkmate.
A stalemate can also occur if neither player has sufficient material to execute a checkmate. This often happens when both players have eliminated nearly all of each other’s pieces, leaving just the Kings left.
Perhaps the most convoluted way a stalemate can occur is if each player executes the same moves too many times.
The specific amount of repetition required for a stalemate in chess is threefold repetition. This means that if the board state of the game repeats itself three times, the game is a stalemate. For that to happen, each player would have to move a piece back and forth two times to create the triple occurrence of all pieces’ positionings.
