Ne7#?

OK, well definitely some white pieces have been promoted at some point..

The black pawns cannot be where they are now by only having taken whites pawns.

Your board is broken, the pervious button isn't working. 😀

This seems really tough.

Any easier problems maybe like who is to move?

Most pieces are blocked, so only a few could have moved:
Black:
Rb8-b7
f6xe5
h3-h2

White
Nd3-c5
Ne4-c5
Na4-c5
Be1-g3
Bf2-g3
Bf4-g3
Bh4-g3
Ne7-c8
g4-g5
f5xe6
f4xg5
h4xg5

At least 5 pieces must have been taken to get this pawn structure: 2 for the white a-pawn to pass the black a-pawn, 2 for the black f-pawn to reach the d-rank, and 1 for the white f-pawn to reach the e-rank.
Since there are only 5 pieces of the board, f4xg5 and h4xg5 are not possible.

What was the last move?

The things in the left corner, a white rook, two white pawns, a black rook, black queen, and black bishop, have moved to their place before the white king blocked a3. So the white king moved to a3 after the left corner was prepared for this puzzle, but before the two black pawns blocked his route.

OK.

I'm going with the obvious 1...h3-h2



The Bishop on g3 states the pawn did not come from g3.

The b7 Rook not have taken anything on b7 becuase
there is nothing left to take on b7.

The Black pawn on d4 has captured something so has
the pawn on e5.

The pawn on d4 did not take anything last move
because where did it come from?

The pawn on e5 must have taken 2 captures to get from g7 to e5
so once again you have run out of captures.

I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong because I never get any of
Swiss Gambit's puzzles right. I hate him.
