black has 12 pieces in the board and white has pawn structure that is impossible
to get with 12 pieces of black in the board because you need at least 5 captures
to get it and 5 captures mean that black has less than 12 pieces.

White pawns at
h2 g2 e2 h4 g5 mean that white played at least 5 captures to get pawns at h4 g5.
