Shortest-proof-game challenge

EvinSung, you need to say whether you're still trying to shorten this proof game or have given up and want me to post the SPG.

Here is a fairly short one which may not be too difficult. What is the quickest way to reach this position?

I'll report when someone posts the shortest game. This is not it.

That's an improvement, but still not the shortest.

Here's the previous proof game as a clickable link:

I don't think anyone can improve on EvinSung's game at #1869 (57 moves).

Here's one way to do it.

thats literally just #87

Thanks, I didn't remember #87. And it was only posted about ten years ago.

EvinSung needs to say whether he is still working on shortening #1852 and #1866.

just went through (still going) the whole thread and noticed the similarity

and wow 2012 is 10 years ago!!!

that is like the most obvious position ever

all the pieces just.. go to their spot

only intricacies are bb5 and qh5 might be check and black needs to 0-0 but otherwise insanely easy

i find this more pleasing, the queenside-kingside placement of pieces

Here's a proof game. How much shorter can it be?
