Subject: stalemate problem

I think I have to forward a clue to the problem as it was a long
time home work.
The following is the one I thought very brief and correct inter-
pretation.

[ Principle ]
1) You are not allowed to make "a pass" during the game.
2) You are judged to have lost the game if you played an
   illegal move.

[ Conclusion ]

 When brought to the state of the "stalemate", any move you can
play is illegal. Therefore it's considered you are concurrently
brought to the position you are to loose the game as when you
played it's an illegal move and further you cannot stay there
without play.

 Isn't it clear ?
