Stalemate literally means deadlock. The word stalemate has been used to describe several different battles and wars. In WWI blimps contributed to the stalemate of trench wars. By 1953 the cold war had reached a stalemate.
The word has been liberally applied to mean deadlock or both sides being physically blocked from advancing on the other.

Stalemate has also become a widely used metaphor for other situations where there is a conflict or contest between two parties, such as war or political negotiations, and neither side is able to achieve victory, resulting in what is also called a dead heat, standoff, or deadlock. In that usage, unlike in chess, "stalemate" often refers to a temporary impasse that is ultimately resolved.
