I recently saw this article: www.chess.com/article/view/the-11-worst-chessboard-photos
Obviously, the situation shown is impossible. Black would need to be missing a piece out of his starting position for the h-pawn to get to g3. But how close can you get to this position? The answer is: Pretty close.
1. Nc3 Nc6 2. Nb1 Ne5 3. Nc3 Ng6 4. Nb1 Nh4
5. Nc3 Nf5 6. Nb1 Ng3 7. hxg3
Now, I did that maneuver with the black queenside knight. Making the same position, except using the kingside black knight instead of a queenside black knight, is impossible. Can you prove to me why that is?
Good luck.
