Back on 2005-03-08 a BLOCKADE STALEMATE IN 20 MOVES was posted on the SHATRANJ rules page. I believe that a similar stalemate can be achieved here in 15 or 16 moves. See the diagram below.

The White Rook previously captured a Bishop on (a6). After capturing a Knight on (e6) and moving the Duck to (g6), the game ends with a stalemate (and Black wins).
