This must be the time of year to be hopeful. I don't guess it could hurt.
Ok
#7895, a simple triangulation to reach the position with white to move after move 39 could have not only made it a full move, but it would have been a nice even 40 moves long!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I am really hoping that this position is illegal.

EvinSung's position has been confirmed legal.
The pawn's supposed to be on d6, not d5

Too easy. No white king.

Which post's illegality are you disproving? I can't see them in the past 20 posts.

This is a common trick puzzle, because it appears in a semi-famous book, but is it possible for this position to be reached with white to move?
sorry for replying like 7 years late but 1. Nf3 2. e6 3. Ng1 4. e5: white's turn

Why would you even want to repeat an answer that has been posted by others at least a dozen times?

Very clever, but why the Black king on e7? It would still have been illegal without it.
(Shouldn't the final position be 1/2-1/2 by the way? It's stalemate.)

I just placed the black king for fun, and it ended in a win for white because capturing the king = checkmate
Hopefully this is illegal
