every piece stalemated with every piece on the board?

Is it possible?

a white pawn on g8 is not possible it has to be a piece, the biship on h1 is not possible either as the pawn on g2 has not moved

Any positioning

I think if it were possible, it would have to be done intentionally. Kind of like having an opening that gives you perfect control over the center of the board with none of your pieces missing: possible only if your opponent lets you.

Black queen can capture any of those pawns.

I think in order to have credibility to your theory, you need to show not only it is possible for all pieces to be in such a possition, but also show that they can actually get into that possition from a standard game's starting point.

That would be interesting to see.

I don't even get the sample given regardless of the illegal pawn stuff ;)...the  queen on h8 is under "check", not stalemate, and we can just play Qxc7 anyway?

I think you have a better chance of making this work along these lines (this position works save for the pawns on d2 and e7 and the fact that the black squared bishops have no way to legally arrive where they are):

Indeed. 

And it will be a valid position. 

I don't see how Rg3 or Rb6 would be impossible. 

Or even the pawn moves, for that matter. 

Its not possible, major pieces can smash pieces and they cant block eachother.

I like the way you say 'smash'!

It's like Captain America telling that to Hulk in The Avengers! 

Now tell me how the bishops ended up at e1 and d8. 

Strategicplay:

I am going by the poorly worded subject line and assuming that "all pieces stalemated" means no piece can move to free square where it cannot be captured, not a true stalemate.

I find it funny that I got close to the idea of the linked solution right away even given the wrong instructions/parameters :).  Mine is even *almost* legally arrived at where the solution could never occur in actual play...

What, you wanted a legal position?

Thanks, that is a way more awesome solution :).

@ Rybka

Wow, that's [censored] awesome.  I never even thought about this as a potentiality. I like.

Even then, how does it explain Rg3/Rb6?
