No, he means, 'How was the given board position arrived at in 15 moves?'
Try this for starters:
[fen]rnbqkbnr/1ppppppp/8/p7/P7/8/1PPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR[/fen]
White has just played his 2nd move.
How did the game go? 😵
1. a3 - a5
2. a4
maybe I mislooked something, but I really think this is the solution😀😉😛

Originally posted by Mephisto2It might have captured the e7 pawn?! maybe... The White rook must have been captured at b6, but how/where was tha "a"- pawn captured? If I am counting correctly Black has made exactly 15 moves (4 pawn, 1 knight, 2 Queen, 3 bishop, 4 rook, 1 king), so where is the missing 'a' pawn?
yes. How was the white f-pawn captured?
