Is this position legal?

Sort:
MDL4

Yep this is legal,Both colors just move their knights

Remellion

#1501: Legal. Composer was T.R. Dawson in 1927.

In fact, that position comes with a question: "Specify 2 moves that black must have definitely played." By specifying a move, it means that you identify the piece that moves, the starting and ending squares, if a piece was captured, and if so what type of piece was captured.

Edit: I just read JavierGil's post: he's slightly wrong, there are in fact 2 moves that you can deduce must have been played, not just one.

...Nh3xRg1, and ...Ng1-h3 to get back out again. Simple!

Yeah 117 is illegal. There's nothing to capture the last piece after the Knights have mopped up.

 How can you say? You're post 114.

When a post is deleted, the posts after it move one down.

 But it only does that on some computers. Correct? Or is it browsers? Because the post I am posting is #1487.

Why have you corrected my correct grammar to something incorrect? "...posts..." is plural, so "...move..." is correct, no?

Yes, you are posting #1487, but if the comments which have now been deleted (or the account has been deleted) were still there, your comment would be much more highly-numbered. So the post which Remellion was referring to was #1501 when he posted it, but is now less highly-numbered.

 Ok... Thanks for that. I was quite confused for a moment.
