Technically, a stalemate is a draw and the 50 move rule is a different way to get a draw.

Black can offer his bishops to the white king for free, in order to delay the draw (it's 50 moves without pawn moves and without captures [1]). However, if black offers all 3 bishops, then white could help promote the pawn.

That's not what stalemate means. Stalemate means the current player has no legal moves but isn't in checkmate. White has legal moves. It's a drawn position with good play by both sides but not a stalemate.

His rules seem to require only that the move was legally possible, not necessarily likely. Maybe after moving around the board for a while, the bishops aren't readily able to strike at the pawn.
