I first want to minimize #1696. I think 32.5 is possible!

Avatar of RewanDemontay

That’s cool! How about that one first, and then the bishop one I took a stab at as well?

Can't see 32.5 without option to promote the white a-pawn.

You can do it!

Oops! There is still another way to turn more (complications) into less (moves). Now I really must get thinking.

Yep! Also succeeded in making good use of the passive white a-pawn.

Now, how about that bishop one? I managed 52 moves on it. Could you make it in less than 50 moves?

Don't know. Must sleep now. Think about it tomorrow, time permitting.

Avatar of RewanDemontay

That’s fine. Sleep well!

Illegal as the black black bishop on d8 couldn’t have possibly gotten there.

Thx! The secret is to try and let your pawns promote on the squares closest to their final destination.
