Maybe he's working on the assumption that if it's a draw then he we will win on the material advantage. I used to play this rule at school. I'm not sure if it was a child hood urban myth that this was how it was decided, or there are actually rules in place somewhere that dictates this. Anyone?

There isn't a forced stalemate.

It's unlikely that a 1600+ would fall for it.
