I wasn't really indicating any specific piece being moved - simply the absurdity of counting all possible moves as possible real moves a player would make.

I know, I am just practising tetrapyloctomy.

Okay... It is admittedly possible to set up a position in which Black could play a1=Q (or whatever) a2 a3 a4 a5 a6. I doubt it's possible to reach this position legally, though. Black would have to eat all of White's pieces, and I doubt it's possible to get them all on the right squares.

I didn't say it were not possible, I only said I doubt it is. It might be an interesting challenge to show if it's possible or not, but I really need to go to bed now.

We are talking about a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, not about a3, a2. So you need to have black pawns on a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, and a7.

I'll work on it.

First attempts show a negative result. As far as I can tell it is impossible, because there are not enough white pieces to sacrifice to get the black f pawn up to a7.

Exercise Routine

If you're over 40, you might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too strenuous for some.

Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

That's enough for the first day. Great job.
