1 - If it is white's move, the King must be at B3, or else Black ended his move in check, not a legal position.
2 - If the white King is at B3, there is ...[text shortened]... eft with the same conflict previously dicsussed in step 2.
9 - Hence, there is no solution.

Anyone still working on this? If not, I'll post the full solution.

Post it, dawg.

Start here:
[fen]b7/8/8/1r6/Bp6/1K6/2P5/3k4 b - - 0 1[/fen]

The white King is on [b]c3.
