[Retros] Puzzle - Pronkin-knight

[per olin]

Very nice, Nicolas, superb play by the black pieces!  Sometimes I test proof game ideas from other starting positions than the initial game array.  In this case it is obvious that Chess960 has nothing to give;  this time I guess, fairly convinced, that no Chess960IP will allow for Pronkin-knight and 29 homebased pieces.  But I would not mind if my guess once more is proven wrong!

Best wishes
Per
