(In reply to Opening Moves (part spoiler) by Vernon Lewis)

Actually, the bishop on A8 could have been a white pawn which had made it to the eighth rank and was then transformed into a bishop which would allow the B7 pawn to be black.  


The last move was the white pawn on C7 taking a piece on D8 becoming a white Rook.
                   BLACK
