Which rules are you playing by - and are your opponents aware of them?

When you replay this game very fast you can clearly see a mating in progress.

What of it? Even Bowmann can recognise stalemate.

The site rules, apparently.

Did it not occur to either of you to click the "Claim draw" button? 😕

Of course. But then neither player would have stood any chance of winning.

Draw by lack of mating material is not stalemate. Stalemate is when a side cannot move.

Wow, I get to correct the mighty XanthosNZ.

If white had taken the black rook with his king on move 113, it would have INDEED been a stalemate.

Next time I'll look at the game in question before answering. 😳

With such humility, maybe you should consider changing your forum title from "Elitist snob". 🙂

The day I can actually understand chess algabraic notation without counting out the squares in my head, perhaps I will beat you again. Or maybe I catch you up late without sleep, that seemed work.
