    This set up is impossible to obtain. The only way for black to get into this position is if the black king was at a7. But that means black's rook had white's king in check. The white king could not occupy row 8. In white's present position, there is a triple check on square c8. There is no way that black's king could have occupied that space before because there would have been at least a double check on that space.

    Ok but then how did black get that position in the first place? What was White's move to get black in that position.

    Thanks for the extensive walkthrough! Tim Krabbé's work made me aware of the Task. But it was your elaboration that really made Yarosh's achievement of composing this puzzle sink in - and I was blown away. Beautiful!

    Btw the black pawn that reaches g3 could only be the g7 or the e7 pawn at the start. That's because there's not enough pieces to capture if that was c7 pawn: only the rook on a1 and the bishop on c1 could be captured. There's also pawns that can lead the black pawn to g3, but the two d2 and f2 pawns are on their home squares, so there's no way for c7 pawn to reach g3 square

    Actually I think it should be said that it's blacks turn in this position, because otherwise the sentace "Can black castle?" can be treated as "Do black have the right to castle still?" an the answer will be yes. If it's white turn then the following sequence is legal: 1. Nc8 (from b6) - b6 (pawn was on b7), 2. a3 - Bc8

    I am so bad in chess and yet I figured that one out. I thought you never said who plays next so everyone is just going to assume it's white cause they have more pieces. Sounds more like a trick than an actual puzzle though.

    Although this could be construed as a bit of chicanery, I see the point, being, that no matter what black does, there is checkmate in one by White. In some sense it is like calling out checkmate in 6 no matter what black does.

    As much as I want to love this puzzle, I think being intentionally misleading and getting berated for it shouldn’t be surprise. You can’t pie someone in the face and then when they get mad you explain the joke and give them compensation and expect them to not hold it against you. You were obviously fishing for people to get confused, so don’t be surprised when they don’t like the result. Most people go into chess logic puzzles assuming it’s more basic and a simple test of their knowledge, misleading people like this brings them out of their comfort zone so they obviously won’t always like it.

    What's cool about this puzzle is that one can deduce that it is black to move by simply studying the board. That is how the composer (not me) intended it. I think it is a cool intersection between logic and chess. Thanks for watching.

    I remembered an old puzzle 3 underpromotions in 1 where 3 knight promotions and sacrifices are done. You can Google it. That helped me to see a promotion to a rook was the right move and then to sacrifice it to keep black an extra pawn to move. Excellent puzzle.
