Since the first position is clearly legal, I wanted to know how much you thought about it before calling it illegal. (I explained at #43 why it's clearly legal.)

I probably thought for 5 seconds before naturally thinking the position was illegal. I may be mistaken.
Can you provide a sequence of moves from the chess starting position that reach the position?
answer:
this is one way to answer your question. it might not seem too appealing for black to do so but is a possibility if you are playing against a person that only knows how the pieces move
@RichardChen5064: That was fine. The moves of a proof game don't have to be likely, they just have to be legal.
Why do you suppose YuriSenkovich kept insisting the position was illegal after so little thought? An "endgame demi-god" should be better than that.
@RichardChen5064: I would encourage you to keep working on composing problems, and don't be put off by comments from people with little understanding of the art of problem composition. As long as it's legal, a problem position can have aesthetic value even if it's one that would never occur in a chess game.
If you're serious about making good problems, I suggest you become familiar with the rules and definitions in the Codex for Chess Composition, http://www.wfcc.ch/1999-2012/codex/

I thought the definition of Endgame was no Queen's on the board.
morans breed also
If one side had a Queen the side with out the Queen would resigne
not if he has stronger attacks going on
