Below is the position after Black's 10th move.
Find all the moves played.

Hmm, I've seen an hour ago it was after 9 moves?! And the name of the attachment indicates so?

Hmm, again I seem to be missing a white move.
Sure it's not a 10-and-a-half ?
I don't think there is a problem with the black moves :
The black moves maybe are :
P-d5
B-h3 (gets taken by white pawn)
P-g5
P-g4
P-g3
P-g2
PxR=B
B-e4
B-f5
B-c8
White's last 2 moves maybe are :
P-f3
K-f2
That's because the black bishop has to get out to e4.
And here's the problem - we have the 3 known white moves
(the bishop capture and the 2 moves above) leaving an ODD number of moves for white. With all other white pieces on their original squares, I can't see how this is possible.
Hmm

Yes.

But this reasoning applies only to knight moves.
(You are nearly there.)

This is driving me nuts.
I'm sure that my black moves are ok.
I just cannot get the white bishop out of the way.
(Or if I do, I cannot get it back)
Hmm, maybe someone else has an idea.

Margit, I've got an idea for you: the white pieces that made an odd number of moves are both pawns, the king and the rook.
