Chess Puzzle

[sierk]

Here is a chess puzzle I found amuzing, the question is given the position shown in the picture, which was the FIRST move made by a white bishop (you have to explain your answer).
You don't need to know much about chess except the rules.

omg I like chess, but I can't figure it out! Anyt hints?

[sierk]

well I can give a hint, have a look at the black bishop and ask yourself where it's from, then go from there....

of course you can get to the given position, by following the chess rules...
