I have a few ideas that may make the proof a bit more fun, coming later

Okay, done with that. Now the ideas I were referring to.

1. FPG (wait is this checkmate???)

2, Proof except the white queen took exactly 2 moves to get to h8

3. Proof but the white bishop on h6 never went to g7 or g5 (hopefully this isnt the same as the first idea)

4. Proof but the white king went to a4 sometime

5. Maybe you're creative enough to create a drawback to the proof. I encourage posting some other fun ideas

I've got a fairly optimised proof game in 48.5 moves. It's the quickest I've found so far, but improvements may be possible:

But you'll solve anything, LOL

Dang it. I just got a 48.5 solution slightly different from yours (altering the last 12 moves or so)

Avatar of e7rook

Yea. That's a lot.

For the second one, as an additional challenge, try doing it without moving the pieces on a1, b1, c1, f1, and the king.

Avatar of e7rook

The first and last ones only differ by a pawn (I'm hoping that pawn makes the last one harder)

Dang! That's actually clever. I never really looked into the problems myself skewer<- Thats's what I do when I'm bored as hell with my pc

Surely you jest! 😂

This didn't really turn out the way I wanted it to, but I thought it might be interesting.

PG in 12.0

Nice king triangulation.

I think I remember someone posting a really good position with this theme before, but I forgot where it is. Here's my attempt at something similar:

PG in 11.0

I wonder if this is the really good position you remembered.

This is PG in 24.5
