He must have used some Elba grease, eh.

This has got to be one of the best stalemates ever engineered.

I'm pretty sure Napoleon wasn't exiled to St Helens or Prescot either.

Not really. It's a good engineered draw, certainly. But it's not a forced stalemate. White can just walk away. Black then swaps queens and white has nothing, but... it's not a stalemate. IMO, the best stalemate ever should be a forced stalemate, not just a forced draw.
