To Arno-As cooked as your problem is, as shown by Olaf, it is a very nice extension try. It will very hard to extend my #97. It took my forever myself to even think of giving White an extra bishop. My setup just barely allows for the kings to swap around, which was and is another difficult factor in making a record length illegal problem.

Many thanks. What makes my problem worthy of being on the database, in your opinion, Olaf?

|
| (26) Posted by Olaf Jenkner [Monday, Jan 27, 2020 23:50] |
Nothing, because every published problem should be added to the PDB.
I add problems I like, especially I like records. There is no matter of taste to find the best and it is amazing to see what can be done at the chessboard.
The PDB collects all problems despite of quality or soundness. At the moment there are 431102 problems, 28187 of them cooked.

I understand that. Also, I've added my first problem into the Schwalbe PBD! It's an old, but somewhat unknown, classic that should already have been in the database: https://pdb.dieschwalbe.de/P1372243. I have taught myself German notation, so I am able to go through PBD problems like breeze. Typing it out is still a bit cumbersome for me, but I will get there eventually.

Thank you, Olaf, yes, I overlooked that the wPe2 must also be protected. So another try! [EDIT: As I now see, this is a great joke - h# in 1.5!! Still, you probably get the idea. Will try to find a better version...]
 (= 14+32 )
h#118 (??)
The start is with 1... Kh1 2. Bg1 Kxg1 3. Bf2+ Kh1 4. Bg1 Ba2 5. Bde1 Bb3 6. Bcd2 Ba4 7. Bbc1 Bb5 8. B3b2 Ba6 9. B4a3 Bc8 10. B5b4 Bd7 11. B6a5 Be8 12. B7b6 Bf7 13. B8a7 Kxg1 14. Bf2+ Kh1 15. Bde1 Be8 16. Bcd2 Bf7 17. Bg1 Kxg1 20. Bbc1 Bxg6+ 21. Kxg6 Kh1 Then all goes similar to the solution found by Olaf until possibly 61.Kxf1 fxg4! 62. Ke1 Kg1 and at the end the shortest could be something like 113. Kxg2 … 114. Kh1 Kd1 115. g2 Ke1 116. g1=S Kf1 117. Sxe2 Bxe2 118. Bh2 Bxf3# Could also be some moves less, will see, what Gustav says to that...
@James: One small point - at least you can move the bK to g8 and add wRh8 and wPh7 with one move more.

No, Olaf! I sent once a complicated direct more-mover with many unusual fairy pieces to Hans Gruber for feenschach. He answered me quickly that the problem was cooked - the white king was in mate in the initial position!!

For the history of the idea probably Shinkman is a nearer forerunner: https://pdb.dieschwalbe.de/P0569741
Maybe Olaf can ask Gustav also about that position... While it is labelled as "cooked" that is at least not right for the mentioned "dual" as talk is obviously not about a dual-free intention.

As always, thanks for the testing Olaf!
Amazing job Arno! An extension by a whole 14 moves! I make an offer of co-creation on it, if you like. Also, thanks for that Shinkman one, I remember it now. I have seen before and forgotten, so thanks for bringing to my eyes again. It has its similarities, but I would not consider it one of the role models for my #97.
