Release the position

Surely I'm missing something very simple. Why can't the move f7-f6 be retracted immediately, and the wK extracted?

well, you wanted a really tough puzzle. i guess now you're on your own 😉

from what i see, its about unlocking all those other pieces, like the white knight. but im not good at these, so i dont know.
