You would need to promote 3 white queens. 5 white bishops and a white knight. You can't do 9 promotions so it is illegal.

After 24 days nobody has posted an attempt at #570/#806. Is it too hard? I'll post an unoptimized proof game which will show the retro-moves needed to release the position, and someone else can tune up the moves leading up to it.

This is a white to play and win from the general discussion forum.
What is the shortest proof game this is legal?

This looked clearly legal so I thought I would make a quick proof game as a starting point for those who want to shorten it.
