Shortest-proof-game challenge

EvinSung, how much have you been able to shorten #1832?

not good to do so

also pd2

Your first try was not far from the SPG of 24.0. I think you can do it.

29 moves at my first attempt

But you quickly got to 27.0.

but with pd2

Now you are on your way.

I'm happy someone finally shortened the proof game I posted for this position 30 days ago at #1481. I thought it would probably be done by tygxc, who seems to be taking a break.

Can anyone shorten it still more?

Only two moves to go. The position is a prize-winning composition by Unto Heinonen, so the 24.0 move solution will be unique.

feel that black should improve because the re1-e2-e3-e1 is very ununique(or ique)

When you're finished trying, I can post the solution. No one else has reported working on it.

Here's a first shot at this one.

didnt even announce i was trying

Right. I should have addressed that to EvinSung.
