Deepest unique problems

Only one position exists at this depth.

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

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

7k/8/7B/8/5B2/5R2/8/1K6 b - - 0 1

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