That position shouldn't end in black to move because the puzzle starts with white to move. Black has mate in a 1 in that position.

It won't help you to say that here. You should write to your congressman, who may be able to help you get the problem changed.

You are the one who posted that position, out of my thread, so you can a least get the move right since the position is a puzzle another completely arbitrary, same for the on above it.

I agree with this.

Avatar of EndgameEnthusiast2357

If the puzzle started with black to move I would want it to end with black to move as well (this isn't an OCD thing). Although unsure where the got that idea anyway since it's more of a matter of common courtesy to end a game construction with white to move, but this isn't even that issue so..

That position (#6192) was posted by BishopTakesH7, not by me. What is the name of your thread? What does "puzzle another completely arbitrary" mean? What is "the on above it"?

Oh sorry that was BH7 my bad. Jeez that many typos??

I typed "puzzle and not a completely arbitrary position", and "one above it".

Isn't that position illegal?

Here is a proof game for #6202. EndgameEnthusiast will say it's invalid because it ends with a move by White.
