Is this position legal?

But really, they could get to this position. Although I think they say it would be insufficient material with these pieces. Kinda weird... but I do get why they say that. You'd have to play really bad to be checkmated like this.

Yes, it could happen. It probably would be called a draw before this positions is reached though.

This is also possible.

Last I checked, this could be a draw before the mate position with USCF rules, but not FIDE rules.

Sure. Why not? Probably never happen in a real game, but it doesn't look impossible.

If it's legal, what where the last few moves?

The b8-Bishop is a promoted pawn that has come via c6; the Black b-pawn has come from c7. The White King came to a8 earlier via the back rank, then ...cxb6, then the Black Bishop comes to a7, then cxb7, then ...dxc6, the Black King comes to c7 and finally b8=B

That's a possible long range plan, but are you sure it actually works?
