/*Find black ideal stalemates, sorted by number of participating white pieces
  An ideal stalemate is a model stalemate such that each 
  white piece participates, either by attacking
  the kings field, by pinning a black piece, or by being pinned itself.
  We start by including the file modelstalemate.cql
