Isn't it already mate in 2 without extra pieces? Ng7-e8-c7 I'd say. If the mate has to be with the piece you place I'd go for Bishop on d7....from there Bd7-c8-b7 mate.

Yes but it doesnt matter which move Black plays, because White will still do the moves i posted.

I guess something is wrong though, because why would there be so many black pawns and all that. Makes no sense somehow 🙄

answer:

pawn on h2

Ng7-e8-c7#
Placing a pawn on h2 results in an illegal position, because Black already has 8 pawns on the board.

If the goal is for white to mate in 2, you should not give him such a powerful piece to contend with...

Hey this gets too confusing for me because nobody seems to understand what the previous poster means lol

I say 1. Ne8 h2 2. Nc7 mate. What speaks against that? (in that solution you can put any black or white piece almost anywhere on the board, as long as its legal and not near the kings and that)

Why is a White bishop on d7 illegal?

Why do some people want to put black pieces on the board, like Q@d7. or pawn@h2?

Is it actually Whites turn after the piece (if its a White one) was placed?

Questions, questions..... 😕

From the looks of it this would involve some retrograde analysis:
The main question: How did the black pawn got to h3? Only possible route from d7 with four captures but then the white pawn at g4 came from g2 with two captures (at f3 and at g4), and the white pawn at g3 came from h2.
I'll need to look at this more closely.

That's for you to find out. If you don't believe me, try to make a legal game that leads to the position.

Why do some people want to put black pieces on the board, like Q@d7. or pawn@h2?

I have no idea!

Yes, it will be white's turn after the piece is placed.
