I was wondering, is this the first known stalemate SPG?

As always, thanks for your feedback.

Hello Francois,
stalemate SPGs do exist already.

For me it was a challenge to compose a special stalemate SPG which 
fullfills the following tasks:
1. Black has still all 16 pieces on board (and is stalemated).
2. White has a maximum number of pieces on board. In my composition I 
achieved 14 which gives a total of 30 pieces.

It was just published in "Die Schwalbe", February 2004, Issue 205, Problem 
#12181.

Regards,
Christoph
