No offense but it would need to be much more refined than what you suggest. Stalemate is pretty rare, but the 50 move / 3 move repetition is 99% of draws in chess- or at least would be the outcome if players were not allowed to agree to a draw. Nearly every single game at the top level would be a white win if all white has to do is effectively draw. Maybe instead of stalemate you meant a draw where neither side has enough material to checkmate? If you make that a black win, white would always have to push for a win. |

50 move / 3-move-repetition == White win.
This proposal has been discussed in chess forums on occasion, because Armageddon (all draws == Black wins) is too much in favor of Black.
Giving 50 move / 3-move-repetion to White should even the odds better, somewhere in between the current ruleset and the Armageddon ruleset.
