Deepest unique problems

h#8

8/8/8/7B/8/2Q5/3k1n2/1K6 b - - 0 1

  1. Kxc3 Be2 Kd2 Bf1 Ke1 Kc2 Nh3 Kd3 Kf2 Ke4 Kg1 Kf3 Kh1 Kg3 Ng1 Bg2#

pure model ideal switchback self-block nocheck

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

  1. Kxc3 Kb1 Kd2 Bf1 Ke1 Kc2 Nh3 Kd3 Kf2 Ke4 Kg1 Kf3 Kh1 Kg3 Ng1 Bg2#

pure model ideal switchback self-block nocheck

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#3. The deepest dual overall is h#8, where the two solutions share a first or a last move.

h#3

7B/6n1/8/8/8/2k5/1Q6/K7 b - - 0 1

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

  1. Kd3 Qb3+ Kd2 Bxg7 Kc1 Bh6#
  2. Kc4 Qc2+ Kb4 Bxg7 Ka3 Bf8#

mirror single-piece single-piece:black

Note: the side to move is in check in the diagram.

h#3

8/8/8/8/8/1B1k4/2Q5/K1n5 b - - 0 1

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

  1. Ke3 Qe4+ Kf2 Bd5 Kg1 Qg2#
  2. Kd4 Qg6 Kc5 Kb2 Kb4 Qb6#
