14 unmoved pieces and 7 moves.

Probably is would be better to try this Challenge against Stockfish. I also think that a good criteria would be not to move the Queen. Just my opinion... :)

yeah 14 pieces unmoved 7 moves is almost literally the best you can possibly get, 15 pieces unmoved (only one knight can move...) seems very unrealistic. Maybe playing as black can help? Could 6 moves be plausible when playing black, right?
