I am given outdated stalemate (7)
I believe the answer is:
impasse
'stalemate' is the definition.
(I know that stalemate can be written as impasse)
'i am given outdated' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'outdated' becomes 'passe' (French term meaning out of date or unfashionable).
'im'+'passe'='IMPASSE'
(Other definitions for impasse that I've seen before include "Deadlock or stand-off" , "deadlock results" , "I permit no further progress" , "Stalling of negotiations" , "'Deadlock, stalemate (7)'" .)
