Frank, thanks for the follow up comment. You write, 'My 'stalemate'
means any other move is worse than null move. Can you prove that's
impossible?'

Answer: Moves can be worse than null moves - such as moving your last
remaining King into a line of attack (legal in this game) and then losing
your last King and the thus game.  So, that a move can be worse than a
null move is a fact. But, null-moves are illegal in this game, and that
(and the fact that Kings are captured) is why we can't see a stalemate in
Odin's Rune Chess.
