Since Pascal hasn't posted the solutions for the Messigny compositions yet,

Last captures were, in reverse order: c2xBd3, (Nb3xRa1), c6xPb7, d5xPc6, 
e4xRd5. The other four captures were (first 3 in reverse order too) f3xRe4, 
(d7xBe6), g2xQf3 and NxBf8 (which could be played before or after either of 
the previous mentioned 3 captures)

8. Tom Volet
Last moves: -1. .. Ne2-g1 -2. f3-f4 Nd1-e2 -3. f2-f3 Nb3-c1 -4. Ba2-b1 
Nc5-b3 -5. Bb1-a2 f6-f5 -6. b6-b7 Nb7-c5 -7. c5xRb6 Rb3-b6 -8. d4x[RQ]c5 and 
now ([RQ]b1->c5), (b2-b1=[RQ]), Bb1-a2 (Rb5-b3) Ba2-b1 (b3-b2) e3xBd4; 
(Bf8->d4), (Rg8->b5), (g7xBf6), Bc1->f6, b2xPc3.

So, in reverse order, the last fully determined pawn moves were f3-f4, 
f2-f3, f6-f5, b6-b7, c5xRb6.

I hope I didn't make any mistakes ;)
