At the end of the evening at the chess club, you walk up to a table where the players have joined the bar for a drink leaving the chessboard in its final position.
An other club member stands there a bit lost with the White King in his hand.
On your question what's up, the other replies that he accidently bumped the table, where upon the white king dropped from the board.
Your first reaction to dismiss this is smothered when you noticed how the white Bishops is placed, giving the black king check.
Can you place the white king back on the board and tell what the last three half moves have been?
