@Arisktotle You just may be right. Here’s one in 48 moves. It becomes inceasingly difficult to find moves for Black.
@MARattigan I stand corrected. The Black queen actually CAN reach h1 in two moves timewise.
Is this position legal?

It’s legal. Go on from this on your own,
It’s legal with either side to move.

It's always the mining of the last reserves which requires the greatest investments! I'll take a look myself at the shorter proof game I envisioned and hope it won't be frustrated by an unexpected blockade.

Right! In that case, it shouldn't be hard to shorten it!

With the number of members chess.com boasts one would think they should be able to afford professional programmers.

Legal or not?
I'm a composer not a solver so...
Would I have one of the three main puzzle solvers see if this is legal?
