white has 9 pawns
whites lsb is locked by the pawns
this is illegal
pawns-32 moves
knights-8 moves
bishops-4 moves
rooks-4 moves
queen-1 move
king-7 moves
58 is theoretical minimum
#665
The queen can "move through pawns"
d4 e5 dxe5 and later Bd6 exd6 can free the pawn d4
and d5 Nc3xd5-f6-g8 can clear pawn d7
for Qd1-d8 in 1 move
So 56 is the theoretical minimum
