1. c8=Q.

Huh? Is there any reason that the c7 pawn couldn't have come from f2? Or even h2, with the f2 and g2 pawns shifting over via captures?.

There was a famous old time chess matser politically named John N. Buck who was
Southern Open Champion. In effect he was also a famous psychologist. For sure he ivnewnted the "house, tree, person" test. He lived in Lynchburg Virginai. My mother knew him becuase she was a child psychiatrist, but I never met him although I coarsely lived near him.

I don't know when he died but probnably in the 1970s. Still he had retired from chess before the 1950s.

Are you a relative?.

Is that even a possible board position? Specifically, how did White get his pawn past the three Black pawns in b, c, and d?.

h8=Q is Mate in 10 (at most).
