Spoiler

King capture is possible for both players, they both have two bishops on black yet no pawn missing, the edge pawns are in impossible positions and the queens and kings are developed despite the pawns and bishops still in their place. Did I miss something? I can't see anything wrong with the knights or rooks.

I couldn't think of any way to have a knight in an impossible position. I do have one impossible rook, because I updated the link after you left this comment
