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

Deepest dual problems

Deepest dual with different first and last moves: h#5. The deepest dual overall is h#6, where the two solutions share a first or a last move.

h#5

8/6k1/5Q2/8/8/8/1K2b3/4b3 b - - 0 1

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