No, white pawn makes a tempo for Sc4.

Maybe a simpler way:
(= 2+4 )

1...e1B 2.Rf8 Bh4 3.Rf6+ B:f6#
1...e1R+ 2.Rc1 Rh1 3.Rb1 R:b1#

You may also check this version (though, it has a number of cooks).

W: Kb1 Ra1e1 Pc7
B: Kf7 Rc2e2 Ph2c4e7

1...h1R 2.c8S Rh6 3.Sb6 Rxb6#
1...h1B 2.c8Q Be4 3.Qxc4+ Rxc4#

@Petko

I bet there will be no AUW shown since there are two solutions required. Perhaps "Mixed AUW" or 4 black promotions split between two black powns. The AUW theme can only be shown if there are thematic tries. Who knows, perhaps it's possible to compose it.

Could we agree we have one correct version (22) of the example with promotions to BB & BR?
The training shows it will not be easy to control some pieces...

Version (22) looks like correct to me. I do not see a possible cook but who knows.

Version (22) IS correct.

Version (22) is sound.

Petko's setting (20) has several cooks.
(= 3+7 )


1...g1R 2.Sb3 Rh1 3.Sc1 Rxc1#
1...g1B 2.Sf3 Bh2 3.Se5 Bxe5#
1...g1Q 2.Se4 Qf1 3.Sf6 Qxf6#

1...g1Q 2.Sb3 Qg8 3.a4 Qxb3#
1...g1Q 2.a4 Qg8 3.Sc4+ Qxc4#
1...g1Q 2.a4 Qg8 3.Sb3 Qxb3#
1...g1Q 2.a4 Qg4 3.Sc4+ Qxc4#
1...g1R 2.Se4 Rg5 3.Sg3 Rc5#
1...g1R 2.a4 Rg4 3.Sc4+ Rxc4#

Here Ba6 is not needed. With black Pa4 probably all is OK?

@Petko

There is still a cook:

1...g1R 2.Se4 Rg5 3.Sg3 Rc5#
 
   
(Read Only)pid=15386
(31) Posted by Geoff Foster [Friday, Apr 28, 2017 12:19]

(= 2+5 )

1...g1Q 2.Se4 Qf1 3.Sf6 Qxf6#
1...g1Q 2.Sb3 Qb1 3.Sc1 Qb4#
1...g1R 2.Se4 Rg5 3.Sg3 Rc5#
1...g1B 2.Sf3 Bh2 3.Se5 Bxe5#

Here the first solution is not wanted.

This one is thematic for the tourney.

AN INTERESTING NOVELTY: hs#n Min!

The definition is analogical: Help - selfmate Min is a new condition, with the help-play before the last two half- moves, presenting S#1 Minimummer (Black has to play the geometrically shortest longest move).
1. Educational Example(P.A.Petkov): White: Ka6,Qa7(2); Black Ka2, rb8,rh4 (3) - hs#2,5Min
a6, a7, a2, b8 h4

Solution: 1...Rb2!2.Qd7 Rhb4! 3.Qa4+ Rxa4#! But not 1...Rh3? 2.Qc5 Rhb3 3.Qa3+? and now follows not 3...Rxa3# bur 3...Kxa3! Therefore the key - move 1...Rb2 blocks the square "b2" because of 3.Qa4+? Kb2!!

2. Educational Example (P.A.Petkov): White: Ka1,Ra7,Pe7(3); Black Kb5, ra8,sd1,bh7 (4) - hs#3 Min - 2 solutions
a1, a8,e7, b5, a8 d1 h7
Solutions: I.1.Ra3 Ra4 2.e8S Ka5 3.Sc7!Rxa3#; II. 1.Ra4 Ra5 2.e8Q+ Ka6 3.Qb8!Rxa4#



AN IMPORTANT SUMMARY!
We can define the new hs# type as a general condition rule as follows: hs#(N)(X) Where: N is the number of moves, and X is an appropriate fairy condition, which has to be fulfilled. Of course this fairy condition can be not only Max. or Min.
Pay attention that in hs#(n)max. or hs#(n) min the fairy condition affects only one half-move - of black pieces. But in many other "additional conditions"(of type X!) the fairy condition can affect two last half-moves!
For example: we have: HS#3 Sen. - where the last part s#1 is under the Sentinels rules!!

3. Educational Example (P.A.Petkov):White:Ka1,Qg8, Rc4,Sb1 (4); Black: Kd3, Pd2(2)- hs#3 sen.-
a1, c4,g8, b1,d3, d2
solution: 1.d1S! Re4 2.Qa2 Sb2 and then follows Sentinels s#1 - 3.Qc4(w.Pa2)+!Sc4(b.Pb2)#!

Of course the "main part" of the stipulation can be also HS=, HS==, HS+ etc. An other idea is also to play in the n-1 moves under fairy condition "A" but in the last nth move under the fairy condition <. For example , possible is: Hs# Max + Minimum - this means: n-1 moves Minimum but in the last move Maximum etc.
I'm preparing a special article on this topic.But no doubt the beginning of the great idea gave MatPlus!

Group B clarification:
Both forms (W-B & B-W) have to be presented in the same problem, as in the example.

Thanks to Petko for his very interesting post. The solution of Example 3 should start 1.Re4 d1S (not 1.d1S Re4)! Unfortunately the first two examples are cooked (I didn't check Example 3).

Example 1 is cooked by 1...Rh1 2.Q~ Ra1 3.Qb3+/Qb2+ Kxb3/Kxb2#

Example 2 has several cooks, for example:
1.Ra3 Ra4 2.e8Q+ Ka5 3.Qc6 Rxa3#
1.e8Q+ Kb6 2.Q~ Kxa7 3.Qb6+/Qb7+ Kxb6/Kxb7#
1.Ra5+ Kxa5 2.e8Q ~ 3.Qb5+ Kxb5#

Whether is a Black Pawn on 7th rank/White Pawn on 2nd rank a line-piece?

@ Vitaly
It is usually considered as a line movement, like in Pikabish interference. It would be good to hear opinion of the judge Miodrag Mladenović.

Of course two step move by black/white powns are line movements.
