Question: recently, I played a game where my oppponent claimed a stalemate
because he had only a bare king against my King Queen & 2 pawns. He said
if I was unable to mate in 15 moves it was a stalemate. I've never heard
of this - having to mate a bare king in 15 moves. Is there such a rule,
even in tournaments or speed chess or some variant?

BTW, excellent site & info.
