The last move was White’s, of course, and it had to be king takes something on h8, but what something? It had to have been a queen that had just checked on h8. It couldn’t have been a dark squared bishop because there’s already one on the board and no black pawn is missing, so there were no promotions. And, no rook nor knight could have had access to that square. A composition by L. Ceriani
