It's not that computers can't see triangulation. It's that they have trouble seeing 290 moves ahead outside of an endgame tablebase.

Probably engines with unlimited depth and infinite analysis can solve the puzzle comprehensively.

Go for it, dude. Let us know how it turns out.

The same engines that solve the starting position you mean ?

Either the mate in 2 is not there, or you entered the position incorrectly (for instance, "forgetting" to mention possible en passant captures...)

I wonder how long the game would have been to reach such a terrible position. Respect for one who created it.

Even though mate in 290 may seem very difficult and impossible, it is actually pretty easy to figure out

So far as I know this position posted by myself is the longest published mate at 1098 ply (549 full moves).

Black to play. Mate in 1098 ply (549 full moves)

 

The widely published White to play position after 1...BxQ is mate in 1097 ply (548.5 full moves).

(Not yet spotted my name in the Guiness book though.)

The current record by Lutz Neweklowsky is on 555 white moves, 1109 plies. The number of plies for your construction is a miscalculation and should be 1098!

Never was very good at arithmetic.

Fixed it.
