Shortest-proof-game challenge

As you wish.

its not ur turn

Here is a variation where all the pieces (officers) are in their ideal positions. Finding an SPG will also answer the question: What precisely was the only possible last move?

.

The last move here is the only one possible.

Shorter

Tygxc's clever capture on g2 wins 1st prize!

@6155

And the queen triangle to lose a tempo...

Would doing it without a queen triangle win 2nd prize?

Definitely! But that is where the buck stops as I rewarded 3rd prize to myself for finding a way to get all officers to their rightful places

21.0 or shorter

Here's my first proof game try. Leither will tell us how much shorter it needs to be.

44.0, one less bR move.

@6163

Shorter:

42 seems to be shortest

why couldnt you have flipped colors for a .5?

EndgameEnthusiast deserves a late Christmas present

I actually just modified an illegal position of mine, which is why I hadn't considered the length.
