solved!

1. a4 d6 2. a5 Bg4 3. a6 Bxe2 4. axb7 Bxd1 5. bxa8=Q Bg4 6. Qf3 Bc8 7. Qd1.

Somewhat easy - just printed it out and lay in bed stared and stared at it until i saw the solution .. then immediately fell asleep ..

Correct!

The surprising solution reveals that the queen is actually a promoted pawn!

yes, nice position!

More retro-problems requested from Nicola!
