The only difference between Stalemate Chess and regular chess is that stalemating the opponent wins the game, but only provided that an enemy pawn is placed ahead of it on the seventh rank. Stalemate is only a win if the king is blocked by an enemy pawn on the seventh rank. (Thus, the stalemated party could have additional pawns and pieces on the board, provided that they are blocked or pinned.) This means that all K + P versus K endgames are won. However, stalemate still counts as draw in all other situations. Thus, many interesting qualities connected with stalemate are retained.
