I need help with an enigma. It perplexes and vexes me.
The puzzle is as follows:
Set up the board as it was 2 moves ago.
Board: Black king A8, white king c8, white bishop g1, white pawn h2
Hints: Black must have captured a piece last move
White must of used a discovered check
Can anyone help? I am at my knees!

i.e. like this ?
I don't see how you work out what was captured...
Originally posted by iamatigerWhite bishop on g1, not black. Like this:

i.e. like this ?

And I presume the OP means two plys, i.e. two half-moves, or one move for each player; otherwise the puzzle is unsolvable.

Originally posted by uzlessThis is a retrograde analysis problem, not a chess game with white competing against black. Retros aren't concerned with whether moves are good or bad, but only their legality.
but that's a rediculous move black would have made before white took the queen with the horse...why would black leave the queen in corner like that?? Seems dumb.
