What?? When you go the analysis board on that position, IT SHOWS THAT THE POSITION IS FROM WHITE'S POINT OF VIEW!!! Lying or what??
Is this position legal?
Sort:
So you would say #1756 is legal? NO ITS NOT. ITS ILLEGAL! AND YOU CAN TELL!
Dude, chill. It’s called a TRICK. A JOKE. That’s what the whole point of this forum, to give out tricky challenges!
Exactly. It is illegal.
Illegality is no fun when there is too much of it. Here (#1760) the pawn is 2 captures short of legality and that is over the top. A good legality challenge is "just legal" or "just illegal".
Yep.
And here’s a totally trash way to reach it.
And already here’s a much faster 25.5 mover.
OK, this is the last one I'll ever do! (it's more interesting than the others because I precisely need all white and all black moves; no spares). Another proof game secret: avoid moving pieces of the leading side (the one with the most forced moves) from their home squares at all cost! .
Wow!

Still.
NO WAY THIS IS A POSITION THAT IS THE POINT OF THE FORUM! THE POSITION IS OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL! BUT YOU SAID ITS ILLEGAL YOU LIAR!
THAT WAS A FALSE ONE! SO PLEASE DONT LIE OR ELSE NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE YOUR STUFF!!!
I CANNOT CHILL. AND YOU KNOW WHY.
NO ONE can solve it you say? SpiderUnicorn SOLVED it. But point taken.
#1759 is illegal. The pawn can't reach f7 because it needs five captures to do so. Notice that the pawn has to stay on the white squares the whole time. Since the bishop and rook are trapped in the corner, the only pieces that can be captured by the pawn are the two black knights, the black queen, and the black rook -- not enough.
@Trexler3241 I suggest you make another one! 
Yep.
Black to move
Moved one piece to get something slightly more challenging.
Trexler, SpiderUnicorn is right. It was a board orientation trick.
