Russ, Stalemates

Russ,

Would it be possible to trace the number of stalemates?
For example the number of draws/stalemates!

Harri / Luck

Flick through a few pages of "Public Games / Finished only" to count the stalemates, one or two per hundred games completed.

Perhaps more interesting would be to look at the games themselves, trying to assess which are blunders by the winning side, and which are clever ploys by the losing side.

I think that a great deal of stalemates is of the type

Also a mistake of this appearence

Also, draws frequently occur whenever a stalemate is obvious and imminent, anyway.

Game 2903482

This was a game in which I played at the true level of a 1250 something, but I think he intentionally played for a draw in the last 10 moves or so.
