Correct. A stalemate in chess occurs when both players lack the needed pieces to create a "checkmate" (win) position. Victory is impossible for both players- stalemate.
OK, but I could be reading some microwave oven reviews and they might choose "the best". I don't think that makes it a microwave oven term. It is just English.
i dont know about other games. i just know someone asked if "best" is a term in chess, and it's a term used by analysts to say the computer would have done that. it might also be used in checkers or something, but chess has an avid community of play analysis unlike most other board games
I don't think this Derek Johnson guy plays chess. A stalemate is a tie. Trump's not aiming for a tie, but a victory.

Agreed. A stalemate is when one side is prevented from moving but you did not capture the king.
If you look like winning you try to avoid a stalemate but if you look like losing you try and force one to save losing so badly.
I have never seen "best" used as a special chess term.
it is if you are analyzing moves after the fact. the computer rates them and "best" is what you want

i think the term is standardized insofar as chess is concerned. whatever the computer would play is "best"
If a computer plays any game with moves you would expect it to pick the best one so is "best" a technical term in all games?

Also, I have actually read a couple chess books a long time ago, and the word best did not have a specialized meaning in anything I read.
Wow! Does that also apply to Melania's campaign of "Be Best" ?
Hope so! Comms are everywhere...
I know. This is amazing and it's only the first week of 2024!
Yes! Buckle up... it's getting REAL! 💥
I'm sure others will point out that the statement about chess and stalemates is factually incorrect.
