Looks possible to me.

The Hardest ...... Alekhine's Gun!   Been playing for a long time and i think i was only able to pull it off no more than 3 times myself. Maybe once in Vote Chess.

sapientdust

Oh really, I've had Alekhine's gun at least once or twice, and I haven't even played that many games.

If you do not count this site that is way more than few games played online.

CHCL

I did something like that when i first started playing online. It was so funny watching my opponents try to figure out how to attack!

Yeah, I've probably played fewer than 500 games or so, and I've already seen Alekhine's gun at least once or twice, maybe even three times, so it's really not that rare. I don't consider 500 a lot of games though, when some people have played thousands or tens of thousands.

On this site. They know too much maybe way more than their playing skills. Hard to do anything like that more than twice. I might have had a chance to do it before i started playing online as i did not know what it was so could not set it up. First time i learned of it was on this site. Sure i would remember a position like that one.

Here they sometimes try to call my opening on move 1. So to set up Alekhine's Gun when have it 2/3 of the way set up and try to complete the other part ..... most likely will not happen. They may even comment on they are not going to let you set it. That is how bad is here. I have seen openings that i have never seen before played against my openings/defense until i came to this site. I go back to reference them in books and sites and they do not have them listed..... , mostly popular and those played at club levels is what category they come under.

This is imposible, as black would have to capture at least 9 peices, and only 8 peices were taken from white.

CHCL, nice diagram of my position, though your's is impossible to reach. Mabye if you moved all the pawns down one step, it might work, though...
