The correct stipulation was a little bit different:


Reconstituer la position, sachant que pour les pièces la constituant,
le nombre de derniers coups possibles est connu:

(Construct a position in such a way that for the pieces it consists
 of, the number of last moves is as follows)

wKing: 2,  wRook: 10,  wBishop: 2,  8x wPawn: 0  (total 11 pieces)

bKing: 0,  bPawn:  0  (total 2 pieces)



This problem was part of a little article by Frolkin & Kornilov,
in which they showed some generalizations and variations of the
"Color the pieces" theme.
(e.g. color the board and the pieces, map to each letter a piece,
put on the marked squares the pieces from a given set of pieces etc.)
The article appeared in 'Rex Multiplex' No.6, Avril-Juin 1983, pp.161-162
