possible or impossible?

You're right Adriandmen the answer was to go via b7 with a knight in between

thank for the correct answer. who would have guessed that?

Less outrageous and more easiest than my first take:

Possible or impossible:

its not possible

YES possible

Heres the solution:

Yes. Thanks for the detailed answer. Was the e-pawn being on e6, the White Rook would have never be able to go thru, but on e5 as demonstrated it's acheviable.

2 white bishops on 2 black squares.

also either d-pawn or f-pawn would have to remain held back until the bishop makes through

alright how about this one

it may look a bit like Fralnp's puzzle but give it a try

really nobody?

if nobody answers i will give the answer after 20 min so give it try

To lazy to recreate a entire game instead I will only publish the main idea:

You forget that the Queen and bishop has to get out. You need to start out playing e3 and d3. :)

you're right Fralnp! it may look like your puzzle but i just wanted to show that if the pawn on e5 was on e6 the rook could be there by promotion

A blasted Black Knight eated them so no Queen or Bishop please

here is the whole game

Yes sadly, pigs will fly and gold fall off trees 'til I get a darn puzzle right.

Thanks to notice the tiny flaw in my presentation. You seems yourself quite the expert in those retro puzzles. Great work!

Alright I'll repost some good puzzles from the older thread that I linked before. Will post more if you like, but there are many hard ones there

Possible or Impossible?

Not even with a knight in between because there's no way to reach that position with a knight there. And if a rook took a knight, then it wouldn't be white to move unless the king was still in check.

I've done puzzle 2

Someone else can do the rest
