Stalemate with all 32 pieces on the board?

Has anyone seen a game where one side has been stalemated with all the pieces still on the board (that was not constructed)? If so can you post it below? I got interested in this topic because I saw a game that was posted by someone I know where one side was stalemated with all the pieces on the board (but was likely constructed because of all the random moves on the board).

It would be very interesting to see...

I guess impossible

It is legal but it would obviously be constructed

So it seems like there's never been an unconstructed game that ended in stalemate with all the pieces on the board?

The one that @tygxc posted is constructed, and I've seen it before. I mean a game that wasn't constructed and was actually played without the goal of stalemate with all pieces on the board.

If you search in one of the lessons in the series "The Funniest Chess Games" You can find the exact game @tygxc posted in one of the games as a joke.

The game posted by tygxc was played in Tischbierek-Paehtz in the 1990 East German Championship. The two players tied for first in the tournament. Now, had Tischbierek and Paehtz agreed to draw the game ahead of time and played these moves just to be cute? Of course. But it does mean there has been a game at a high level tournament that ended in stalemate with all 32 pieces still on the board.
