hmmm, maby this puzzler is too tuff ?

1st - if you think about the position you should see that white MUST have had the last move and that its blacks move !!! - can anyone answer why?

2nd - black pawns only move down the board ,maby collieschess was sitting up side down while reading that?!!?!!!!

3rd - Cephus , white could could easly lose or win from here , it just depends on the situation !

4th - i put down a 2 part puzzle without clues and everyone has started to panic , except AO who just stopped and asked a good question,follow his lead and work it out friends!!

Now this is an interesting and tough question. Okay, we will solve this one before proceeding to a new puzzle. What's the answer to your question Steve?

Best Regards,

AO

The puzzle doesn't make sense because there is no way the dark squared bishop could occupy h8 with black's pawn at g7.

Couldn't it have been white's h pawn promoted to a Bishop?
