A stalemate is simply a draw due to your opponent not having any legal moves. Unfortunately stopping the king in his tracks (no legal moves available) is a bad thing if your opponent has no other piece or pawn that can legally move.
Sorry bud.
The good news is you won't let this happen again for a very long time. Maybe never! There's no better way to prevent stalemating your opponent in the future than to let it happen in a game you should have won. The same thing goes for getting mated on your back rank. One time is all it takes. 🙂

Do u know about the other rules? En Passant? Rules for Castling? Draw by Repitition? 50 move rule? Very important to know those fundamentals.

I knew about stalemate as well, just didn't know that it counted against the person who still had legal moves.
