Stalemate + Not enough material == Black 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.
