    It might be more likely that 1. g3 was the first move, followed by 1... h5 2. e3, but the fact that Levy got it so fast is uncanny. In the Lichess database, the position has occurred 7 times, but no one has found Bd3.

      @Barbutt Před rokem +5

      Levi’s brain would explode if a puzzle involved both of White’s Bishops but the b, d, e and g pawn hadn’t moved. Honestly, I’d notice… you’d be amazed at the number of chess pictures online, on boxes, advertisements etc. with board set up wrong or an impossible position.
      It’s just another way to enjoy a chess puzzle, “Can you even get here?!”
      Fun fact! Even the Marvel X-Men movie when they were young had a chess board set up wrong…. Xavier was likely the smartest man on Earth and could read everyone’s mind… but couldn’t crack the code of White On Right.
      Sad.

      There exist these types of puzzles, they are called retrograde chess puzzles, where you find the least amount of moves to reach a set position or you find what the previous move was of a specific position was. Sometimes they envolve more obscure things, like en passant or finding out if the opponent can castle or not. It's really fun to tackle!

    This looks like the opening to a chess app I downloaded on my phone where if you did a puzzle then closed the app without going back to the menu when a normal game was already finished and then when you went back in hit resume game it would give you completely busted chess openings. No kings, black's bishops are on the 3rd rank, half of white's pawns are just missing...

I wouldn't call it a lost game below 1500 tho. People blunder so much more than that on a regular basis, and there's plenty of material to fight back.
