Line 8:
::: I think the point was: white pawns <u>start</u> on the 2nd rank. There is no legal move in standard chess that can result in them moving "backwards" to the 1st. Conversely, black pawn <u>start</u> on the 7th rank and have no legal move that can result with one on the 8th. However both positions are legal for this task despite them being impossible in actual chess. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 10:01, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
:::: The task currently stipulates producing a "sample of all possible positions"; it's arguable that white pawns on the first or black pawns on the eighth ranks do not represent a "possible position" according to the rules of chess and should therefore be blocked. (Further, if it's White to move as the task says, legally Black can't be in check - not stipulated, but again a requirement for a "possible position".)
