Okay, this one is now impossible.

azziralc

Oh no it's possible indeed! The bishop is already on a1 and when the pawn moves. It gives descovered check. :)

Scottrf

Impossible.

But then the pawn must have been giving check before moving.

Mistake again. It's impossible.

Ha! Know this one and possible. Good ol' en passant here:

Scottrf

Ah yes, of course!

The last one is impossible because white could not get black in check.

Possible, maybe, but I dont know how to get the start position

EDIT: Post 29 shows the right way

Fralnp

Well, how about this? Could this position even be reached from a legal way?

Scottrf

Yeah, had that one a few times in my games ^^

Adriandmen

No, it's impossible

More could have been captured. Since there are two pawns missing per side, perhaps the rooks came about via promotion.

andrewjmen

this one is more simple

Scottrf

Possible.

Nxd3 being the previous move.

#38 is possible. The knight moved capturing a piece with discovered checkmate.
