Actually legal because white decided to give right of first move to black.

In the Fifth American Chess Congress in 1880, it was written on page 164 of the Code of Chess Laws, “The right of first move must be determined by lot. The player having the first move must always play with the white men.” Wilhelm Steinitz, the first world champion, repeated this idea in his 1889 book, “The Modern Chess Instructor,” where he wrote on page XII: “The players draw by lot for move and choice of color. In all international and public Chess matches and tournaments, however, it is the rule for the first player to have the white men.”

But you see, the white men are painted black, and the black men are painted white.

But that would be blackface.
The game I made with six units removed didn't seem painfully simple to me. I'm wondering if I missed something simpler.
Ah, I didn't look at any proof game - only at the removal of units to make it apparently legal. When I look closer it is indeed not as simple as I thought in the first place. Good achievement to do it by just removing 6 units! I see how it works!
