1 - If it is white's move, the King must be at B3, or else Black ended his move in check, not a legal position.
2 - If the white King is at B3, there is ...[text shortened]... eft with the same conflict previously dicsussed in step 2.
9 - Hence, there is no solution.

Step 8, as THUDandBLUNDER said.
