[FEN "8/1nq5/bppp4/1p1k1K1N/1rrp3b/2pp2p1/8/n7 w - - 0 1"]
[SetUp "1"]

Start at a position before any pawn captures are made, and it's pretty easy to show the position is legal:
[FEN "3n4/1bq1b3/ppppppp1/1BkPBP1N/1rrRP2p/2PQ2RK/8/n7 w - - 0 1"]
1. Qd2 gxf5 2. Qc2 fxe4 3. Kg4 fxe5 4. Qd2 exd5 5. Qc2 exd4 6. Qd2 dxc3 7. Kf5 axb5 8. Qc2 hxg3 9. Qd2 Bh4 10. Qc2 Ba6 11. Qd2 Nb7 12. Qc2 d4 13. Qd2 Kd5 14. Qd3 exd3
