move and then mate in 1. White missing pcs: Q, Pa =2 Black missing pcs: Q,R,R,N,N,Bf8 =6 Captures: White Bc1 never moved and was captured on c1. Therefore Bg7 is promoted from a-pawn. The only possible promotion square is f8 via a2xb3xc4xd5xe6xf7-f8=B. So a-pawn captured all missing black pieces -except Bf8- on white squares. Bf8 was captured separately by a white piece - not pawn, which would result on doubled pawns. The only black capture has been d7xQe6, which has happened after the last white a-pawn capture e6xf7. Thus all captures have been explained. The last white move could not be a capture or if it was, then it was a capture of Bf8 by Nf8,Bg7 or Rh4. |
