Shortest-proof-game challenge

How short a game can you make to display this Christmas tree?

It's pretty. Do you have a proof game for it? I'm sure it will take more moves than #6045.

EvinSung posted this position in the Illegal Position thread, but there it was illegal because there was a black knight at d5. How short a proof game can you find for this legal position?

Here's a game in 34.5; Rewan will tell us how much shorter it needs to be.

White seems to have additional moves, so a more optimal black pathing will allow for a shorter game.

Not yet, but I think I'll work on your tree first.

Are you sure it's legal? So far I couldn't get that many bishops on those squares. White's last move also was an extra capture. But I'll look gain later!

56.5. I'll try to improve on this later.

OMG please just make the last move kd5!!! Not only will that make it a full number of moves, the tree will look even better PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE!!!!!

The point was that the illegal position could be turned into a legal position by removing one unit from the board. You want to spoil that by changing the location of a remaining unit.

Try This

Here's a 35.5 move game. EvinSung will tell us how much shorter it needs to be.

Proof game in 24.0.

But it will destroy the SPG. Different last move and no mandatory capture on c5!

That's true. It's amazing how hypocritical our OCD can be lol.

Considerando che sia stata effettuata una valutazione: l'ambito del gioco d'azzardo è estremamente coinvolgente e le decisioni spesso vengono prese senza adeguata riflessione sulle potenziali conseguenze . Benché siano numerosi i casinò europei che accettano giocatori italiani, è importante sottolineare che non tutti sono equivalenti. Di fronte alla proliferazione di siti e portali dedicati al gioco d'azzardo e alle scommesse sportive, si osserva altresì una marcata disparità in termini di qualità.
