@Caliphigia, 3 years later, white has 8 pawns but only has two bishops. This wouldn't be the reason for an illegal position, being that black does have 3 bishops, but only 7 pawns. PS, good calculations.
Dude, two white bishops are on the same colored squares.
Dude, one of them is promoted. :P
Then why does white have 8 pawns? White can't have two bishops on the same colored squares and 8 pawns at the same time. This is an illegal position.

Thank you. Finally a smart chess player...
Don't move until you see it ;)
Dope.

Why does the white king have to move all the way to e3 instead of just jumping between a3 and b3?

Yeah that's what I don't get...
@doduobird123
Wow... *facepalm* I meant a6 and b6
easy....2nd page
If he just wanted it to be longer, why not put more pawns on the h-file?
a6 is covered by the knight.
The king is needed on d3 to threaten the e3-pawn so black can't move his bishop to d4-f6-h8 to mirror white's tempo-losing rook moves.

b5 is covered by the pawn on c6. In any case, the king is needed on d3 for the reason I mentioned.
Also, if you look at the "safe squares" for white's king, there is a long one-square-wide corridor he can step through, namely b6-a5-a4-a3-a2-b1-c2-d3(-e4), none of which give him the chance to triangulate to lose a step, so he must park himself on d3 while his loyal rook does the job.

Promoted from the only missing pawn, the black one?
That was back when promotion rules weren't that strict. ;)
Yes, you could promote to an opponent's piece, but black had two bishops on the same colour squares as well.
extra long triangulation like a gajillion times??
How about 5. Rxd2!+ exd2 6. e4 d1=B!! 7. e5#! (White is not confused by black's epic promotion.) Yes I have a sense of humour, deal with it.
That's what happens when you promote the Siamese pawn.
