Deepest unique problems

Deepest dual problems

Deepest dual with different first and last moves: h#3. The deepest dual overall is h#6, where the two solutions share a first or a last move.

h#3

8/8/8/8/3B4/R2k4/2Q5/K7 b - - 0 1

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

  1. Kxc2 Ka2 Kc1 Kb3 Kb1 Ra1#
  2. Kxd4 Kb2 Kd5 Qf5+ Kc4 Ra4#

pure model ideal mirror single-piece single-piece:black

Note: the diagram has no legal last move, so it cannot arise in a game.

h#3

8/8/8/8/4R3/B1Qk4/8/K7 b - - 0 1

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

  1. Kxc3 Kb1 Kd2 Bb4+ Kd1 Re1#
  2. Kxe4 Qe1+ Kd3 Bb4 Kc2 Qb1#

switchback single-piece single-piece:black zilahi

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

h#3

8/8/8/8/4R3/2Qk3B/8/K7 b - - 0 1

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

  1. Kxc3 Bg4 Kb3 Bd1+ Ka3 Ra4#
  2. Kxe4 Qe1+ Kd3 Ka2 Kc2 Bf5#

mirror switchback single-piece single-piece:black

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