Impossible with chessbase.
The interface of Hiarcs7.32 does not let me to put 7 pawns and 4 bishops of the
same side.

7 pawns and 4 bishops mean that 2 of the 4 bishops were pawns in th history.
It means that white had 9 pawns in the history of the game and it means illegal
position.

I guess that this is the reason that the chessbase interface does not let me to
put the position on the board.

I think that Genius3 is better because it lets me to put more illegal positions.
I did not check this position but I remember that I could play king and 15
queens against king and 15 queens with Genius3.

Unfortunately Genius3 does not let me to put more than 16 pieces for one side so
I could not analyze more comlicated positions with it.
