First link: Black is missing a Bishop.

Second link: Not the position (one less dark square Bishop, one more light square Bishop)

It’s not meant to be exaxt. It’s just general proof.

Bishop-theme position!

#1626-Illegal, as the white bishop on a8 couldn’t have captured a piece to deliver mate from where it stands, making black king illegally in check/mate for at least one turn.

Still illegal!!

How about a black bishop or queen? I tried to make a legal sequence with the white oawn caputrijg but it just ends in stalemate before the white pawn promotes.

How come you’re in USA but you don’t have good English?

Because I suck at typing on an Ipad at times, and I’m also too lazy to double check at times as well.

Avatar of RewanDemontay

You are very wrong. It is legal. See the links I provided in my answer. They are exact but they still are proof.

And I’m the guy who made those 10 rooks, 10 bishops, and 10 knights games! grin.png

Yep. I’m deep into stuff like that. Chess Stack Exchange has a lot more like it!

Haven’t really tried puzzles too much, but I make them for Puzzling Stack Exchange. They are chess themed of course.

They either source them with sources included (to avoid plagiarism) or make them up themselves.

#1652-Easily legal, just promote some black pawns for the white pawns to capture.
