Comments.Text: The first position isn't legal, there's no possible previous move for black.
  The third position is already a draw, since there's no possible sequence of moves that will lead to either player getting mated.

  Is there a known record for the most possible stalemates in one in a legal position, for with and without promoted pieces? I did some constructing myself for a start.
  
  For without promoted pieces, I found **105**, counting different promotions as different moves.

  ```
  
  For promoted pieces, I remembered a position from [elsewhere on this site.](https://chess.stackexchange.com/q/4490/15543) I switched two pieces, made come counting deductions, and I arrived at a number of **205** moves for with promoted pieces.
