so at my work place, we have a one of these "strategy" posters that says "gameplan" and features a guy moving a knight in a game of chess. but one thing disturbed me for a while which i pointed out to a co-worker. the guy could have captured a knight. and i believed this for a while except for one thing--i looked at the board today and realised this was how the board was set up--

and i said to this co-worker, "now wait a minute--this cannot be a legal position!"

It might actually be possible

Not sure but it seems to me like it could be possible, might be missing a couple of things

Wow... the board graphics look really neat! There's even a House of Staunton stamp at the bottom!

As for the position, the white bishops are an issue. It's probably not an illegal position, but it's highly improbable.

Is this a draw?

am i the only one who noticed that the white pieces marched down into black territory and the black pieces marched into white territory?

consider then the legality from that perspective...

Yeah normally you'd get a 50 dollar fine for this.
