Oh, and this position IS legal, and here's a possible combination:

 



No it isn't! As stated, in the position, it is BLACK to move. What was white's last move? There is none.

If the board is facing the normal way with White on the bottom, then it's not illegal as I see it.  White's last move was axb7. Black's next move in mate.

Board is facing in the other direction.

Hey James19James19 (I converted from binary) - fun thread. Could you give us two examples to clarify for those of us interested who could use a hand up the flagpole.
