puzzle from newspaper

Remembering when America was America some decade or two ago, one clever chess puzzle from then, printed in some unremembered newspaper, sprang to mind; it was the cleverest one I'd ever seen. The perplexing part of this paper's particular puzzle was that the board was purposely printed with a dark square in the lower right handcorner, instead of the regulation light square there. This almost unnoticed deviation of the board's orientation allowed a pawn to make what appeared to be an illegal move, and promote on- I don't recall- either the a or h file.

Help me out, someone, with a scanned image, or at least testimony.

Sorry can't help you re-the paper but I remember a book called 'the chess mysteries of sherlock holmes' by Raymond smullyan' (I think that was his name) had a similar problem in.

thanks for the lead, my good man.

Your welcome mate, hope it helps.
