    $\begingroup$ Just to clarify, do black's pieces capture whites pieces if they are in a position where they could? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @gabbo1092 no, but white is not permitted to capture black pieces that are guarded. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @gabbo1092 I think that black pieces can't do any moves. We only consider white moves. Am I right? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Might Black have moved in the past, even though Black will never move again? If so, depending upon what Black just did, there could be a four-move solution (1. dxe e.p. or 1. fxe e.p., followed by 2. e7 3.e8=R 4. Rxa8) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @supercat remember, my friend set up the position, with no prior moves. I knew someone would try that ;) $\endgroup$
