I'm talking about the famous book, Fifty Yards to the Outhouse, by Willie Makeit, illustrated by Betty Dont. I thought that was a great joke 70 years ago when I was seven years old.

Actually, it is already shortened, and by quite a few moves, from two proof games in the Illegal Position thread where it first appeared.

Here's a first try at a position from the Illegal Position thread that Ilampozhil25 suggested making legal by removing a black pawn from f2 in the final position. Someone here can probably shorten it.
