Oh, I ask this because dentu suggested to stalemate in one of the comments on that game.

Yes, there have been a few stalemates. (including one accidental one pretty recently). These are notated with // (as opposed to ++ for checkmate) in the move and are recorded as a draw.

I wasn't actually suggesting to stalemate, but hoping that someone would do it by accident (it's easy when you've got thousands of queens) so I wouldn't lose. ;)
