"a" Solution

a) What was the last move?
b) After "a" solution, White mates in 1.
c) After "a" solution, White retracts and mates in 1.

Solutions:
a) The last move was cxd6 e.p.++ (see the diagram).

b) White mates with 1 Qd5++. Now 1 cd6 e.p.++ is illegal becose the Black's last move is undetermined.

c) White retracts Qe2-c4 then mates with 1 Bd5++. Look that, in the new diagram, 8 black pieces was captured by white Pawns. Then, White can't retracts Bh1xNe4 and mates with 1 Qd5.

Thanks to: István Vadai (Hungary, Szeged) who forced me to release this corrected version.
