Here's a repeat of #570, so people won't have to page back so far to get to the position.

NirKrish/NirbhKrish reported knowing the shortest game when posting #681, but didn't comment on my proof game at #759. It would be nice to know if my count of 16 moves agrees with the known shortest game. I hope NirbhKrish will respond.

But it will take you more moves to get rid of that extra pawn you left at h7.

just have black go h6 before bxh6

then it will lose a ply

thus this isnt shorter!

That actually loses two plies, since the white king has to make an extra move at the end before playing Kxd1.

i think it's illegal

Ilampozhil25

why?

there has to be a SUPER precise methiod

if a 18 queen position was solved(pre bump i think), why not 9?

I don't think you should post a position in this thread if you don't have a proof game ready. If everyone did that, we wouldn't have to ask if the position is legal.
