In forward going chess the rules are the same as in standard chess, just only forward going moves are legal ( the rank of the square to which a piece moves must be higher than the rank of the square from which the piece moved - from the perspective of the side making the move ). Lateral moves ( including castling ) and backward going moves ar illegal.
Create a 96 move ( 192 halfmove ) long game under these rules and present it either by pasting the move list, or by importing the game using licehss's import game feature and give a link to it. The winner is the first poster who posts a legal 96 move long forward going chess game.
Is this puzzle created by you or you took it somewhere? And do you have an answer to it?
is it supposed to be like this?

except i castled on move 28
and only made it to move 85
this is kind of funny
How we can know if your puzlle it's possible?
move 86
http://de.lichess.org/5oDG13xM#171 dont think 96 moves are possible
It is easy to see that 96 move forward game is impossible. Probably, it is your homework assignment to prove the impossibility, isn't it?
> How we can know if your puzlle it's possible?
Proof of impossibility is simple.
OK, it is not simple... and I am not sure that my proof is not flawed.
Each piece and pawn can maximally make 6 half-moves in conditions of puzzle (from 1 to 7 and from 2 to 8 lines), which is in sum 16*6 = 96. So, without captures the puzzle might be solved theoretically, but the captures are necessary, so sooner or later, even if one side reach 7 and 8 rows with all material, second side should run out of moves.
This is just rought calculation, but I think, the puzzle can not be solved.
I changed my mind again --- the proof is very simple. However, I am half-sleeping, so can not accurately check it.
