pinned pieces that can move are another reason why the "dictionary definition" is wrong

I like Evjen's idea. Probably would never fly, but when you think about it, let's say you're playing black, and you're playing a heck of a game against Bobby Fischer. He's playing white, and he already has the advantage of automatically winning a half a game. On top of that, he's Bobby Fischer. You pull out the trapmate (I like that name), and you'd be jumping up and down, just glad you survived. That's not a draw. That's survival. That would be worth three-quarters of game to me. Just for morale's sake.

Can someone explain me how the white pieces have reached their final destinations. This position must be illegal.

This position must be illegal.


Why?

Perhaps the word "impossible" would apply instead of "illegal".
