Shortest-proof-game challenge

wow

perfect?

i can't do better than 26.5 so far

That is a good proof that the position [#260] is legal, but it needs to be shortened. This position was composed by Michael Caillaud and Markus Ott and appeared in feenschach 1982 with the requirement that it be reached in 24.5 moves.

WHAT????

that is ridiculous

If it proves too difficult, I can post the solution.

let @asdfghkl123456798 (hope its correct)

try

That's because you have found the shortest game(s) for that position.

that solution is NOT unique by a stretch

also @asdfghkl123456798,

try the mated position and my opening position

(is the opening position maxed out?)

i've only tried 1.c4 1...e5 2.qb3     a few times so far

logically,
