antichess

I stalemated a guy but instead of a draw it was a win for him. If not a draw at least the guy who stalemates should get the win?

I havent played antichess since I played on icc for many years ago. They call it loserchess. There the king is a king as in normal chess. You can check it, he cant go into check and you can force the other player to checkmate you. I have never played loserchess with king without king "powers". Is this more common?
In Antichess stalemate means win for the stalemated player.
idk if its more common but the way i used to play over a real chessboard is actually the same way on lichess... i think whoever gets stalemated wins because they usually have less pieces...
On lichess, the rules state that the person who is stalemated always wins. However, on some websites, the rules are that the player with less pieces wins.

8/8/8/p7/p7/8/P7/8 w - -
Say in this position white plays 1. a3. On lichess, this is a win for black, since black has been stalemated. However, on some websites, this is a win for white, since white has stalemated black and black has more pieces.
