If KieferSmith's position at #8955 is reached legally, it will be Black's turn to move. After any move by Black, White can mate in 1. Or the game could end in stalemate after White's 5th move. Or Black could mate in 5 moves.

Can you find a quicker stalemate or a quicker mate by Black?

This one is clearly illegal, since the white h-pawn can't promote to a light-squared bishop without making a capture, but all Black's units are still on the board.

If the black pawn at g7 is removed, would the position be legal?
