Deepest unique problems

Only 2 distinct ideas exist at this depth.

h#6.5

7k/8/7B/8/8/8/1qB5/K7 w - - 0 1

  1. Kxb2 Kg8 Kc3 Kf7 Kd3 Kg6 Ke4 Kh5 Kf5 Kh4 Bg5+ Kh5 Bd1#

switchback single-piece single-piece:black

Note: the side to move is in check in the diagram; the solution begins with a capture.

  1. Kxb2 Kh7 Kc3 Kg6 Kc4 Kf7 Kd5 Ke8 Ke6 Kd8 Be7+ Ke8 Ba4#

switchback single-piece single-piece:black

Note: the side to move is in check in the diagram; the solution begins with a capture.

Deepest dual problems

Deepest dual with different first and last moves: h#5. The deepest dual overall is h#6.5, where the two solutions share a first or a last move.

Only one position exists at this depth.

h#5

5k2/6B1/8/8/8/8/2B2q2/3K4 b - - 0 1

Two solutions, with different first and last moves (2 starts, 2 ends).
