    A friend showed me the following [rather simple] little chess puzzle:

    From the standard starting position, remove the BRa8 and the WPe2.
    This is the position after White's 8th move. What were the first
    7 moves?

    Enjoy!

    Nice! I assume that most people will need two attempts to solve it.

    This was a spoiler for those who want to solve it with their first
    attempt ;-).

    Cheers,
