NirKrish, would you like an easy one or a hard one to try?
This position is easy to reach with a proof game, but the goal is to find the shortest proof game. The people who have been here a while have already seen it, so they should let the new guy have the first try.
7 promoted pawns
1 pawn is left
7 pawns cant pass each other without capturing
but capturing is what is not allowed here as there isnt anything to capture
illegal
The improvement efforts on #685 seem to be stuck at 20 moves. Maybe it's time for a hint. Each side must make 15 captures, and if each move after the first could be a capture, the game would end after 16 moves. That probably can't happen, but the goal should be to get as close to a 16-move game as possible.
OK, that's not much of a hint. Here is a big hint. The target position can be reached in a 17-move game. Does that help?
I know the shortest possible answer to this question can anyone find it
