R348 - Goldsteen
The white pawns captured 5 times (bxc5, cxb, exd, fxe3 and gxf3), the
black at least twice (exd, dxc1). The black h-pawn is also captured by a
white pawn, or is still on the board as a promoted piece. So the third
black capture is hxg. The black g-pawn also promoted on g1, without
capture. So white can't take back g2xf3 until black unpromoted twice.
Solution: Last move was d2xQc1=Q#. Start from
8/p2p4/k7/2P5/PPpP1S2/rp1PPP2/SRQprp1P/1KBqb3 (14+11) and play 1. b5+

Qc1 44. Qb1 Qd1 45. Rc1 d6 46. Qc2 d5 47. Rb1 a6 48. Qc1 dxc1=Q#

Try: Last move was d2xRc1=Q#. Further retroplay: -2. Rc2-c1 a7-a6 -3.

Bb2-a3 Qb1-c1 -23. Bc1-b2 Ka3-a4 -24. Rb2-c2 Ra4-b4 -25. Sb4-a2 d7-d6
-26. Sd5-b4 and black has no retromove, so the try fails on one black
retro-tempo.
