No.589 by Nicolas Dupont – The first figurative PG problem published on JF! A tower of pawns created with Annan Chess condition. (JV)
Definitions:
Annan Chess: Units move normally except when they are standing one square directly in front of another unit of the same color, when they move with the power of the rear unit. In the starting position, all pawns (black & white) move with the power of the piece behind them, e.g. 1. Pc2xh7 (as bishop).

Dupont,
O! for a BP at a1. Is it possible?
Not under the Annan condition, as promotion is mandatory in such a case…
