Reducing the draw percentage

In Response To: Reducing the draw percentage (Nack Ballard)

It will never happen, I would like to see a reduction of draws in Chess by making stalemate a loss for the player without a move. This is how it works in Xiang-Qi (Chinese Chess) and it works very well. This would change many Rook and pawn endings as well as King and pawn endings from draws to wins.
