It is very difficult to found correct setting with 14.
Attempt without Bg4?

A new record. Unbelievable - two moves more than the old one. And such a beautiful problem!
Congratulations to Michael!

@(343) Popeye gives me a cook in 7 moves when I set the condition ser-!#16. So MMM is changing something. Can you give us explanation what does MMM means? How to enter this condition in Popeye (if Popeye supports this type of problems)?

See (76), (77), (80) and (108).

The cook
1. Ke4 2. Kd5 3. Bxc7 4. Bd6 5. Bxe7 6. Kd6 7. Kxd7#
does not work because 7. Kxd7 is illegal (white majesty meets black majesty).

@(345) Thanks for explanation. There were so many posts and I missed this one at the time.

@344 as far as I know neither Popeye nor Jacobi have a 'no king's contact' option, but Winchloe has one.

It's time for a twelfth interim balance.

It's hard to find the current record in section Ser-s= . It might be (113).
Several attempts surpass his problem but the might be cooked as well.

New record ser-=19 .

Current records are:

Ser-# ...11 ........... (39) Arno Tüngler (starter)
Ser-= ...19 .......... (349) Arno Tüngler / Michael Schreckenbach
ser-s# ..17 .......... (124) Frank Richter
ser-s# ..17 .......... (128) Michael Schreckenbach
ser-s= ..22 .......... (113) Michel Caillaud (C?)
Ser-r# ..11 .......... (348) Michael Schreckenbach
Ser-r= ..17 .......... (273) Joost de Heer (C?)
Ser-!# ..14 .......... (325) Michael Schreckenbach / Frank Richter
Ser-!# MMM 16 .. (343) Michael Schreckenbach
Ser-!= ..26 .......... (118) Dragan Stojnić (C?)
Ser-h# .KNC 11 .. (42) Michel Caillaud / Arno Tüngler
Ser-h# .. 15 ........ (222) Arno Tüngler / Miodrag Mladenović
Ser-hs# .13 ........ (331) Dragan Stojnić / Miodrag Mladenović (C?)
Ser-hs= .18 ........ (202) Miodrag Mladenović / Arno Tüngler (C?)

Everybody is invited to surpass one of the entries or to cook one marked C?.

(= 9+16 )

ser-r=23 (C?)

Solution:
1.h2-h4 2.h4-h5 3.h5-h6 4.h6*g7 5.g7*f8=B 6.Bf8*e7 7.Be7-a3 8.b2-b4 9.Rb1-b2 10.Ba2-b1
11.Qc4-a2 12.Kd4-c4 13.d2-d4 14.d4-d5 15.d5-d6 16.d6*c7 17.c7*b8=R 18.Rb8*c8 19.Rc8-c7 20.Rc7*d7
21.Rd7-d3 22.Rd3-b3 23.Kc4-c3 b7-b5=

This one is correct ser-a=>b23 (Popeye 4.87).

(352) Posted by Miodrag Mladenović [Friday, Apr 22, 2022 22:25]

Or even 4 more moves:

(= 9+16 )

ser-r=27 (C?)

The final position after the solution is:
(= 9+9 )


After 40 minutes of testing Popeye confirmed that last 26 moves are correct ser-a=>b26. It looks like ser-a=>b27 will run forever. I'll leave Popeye to run over the night.

Here is the solution:

1.Ra1-b1 2.Sb3-a1 3.Bc4-a2 4.Qh4-c4 5.h2-h4 6.h4-h5 7.h5-h6 8.h6*g7 9.g7*f8=B 10.Bf8*e7 11.Be7-a3 12.b2-b4 13.Rb1-b2 14.Ba2-b1 15.Qc4-a2 16.Kd3-c4 17.d2-d4 18.d4-d5 19.d5-d6 20.d6*c7 21.c7*b8=R 22.Rb8*c8 23.Rc8-c7 24.Rc7*d7 25.Rd7-d3 26.Rd3-b3 27.Kc4-c3 b7-b5=

Thank you very much for the great idea to add the 19th move in the Ser-=, Michael! And for the testing, Olaf! Now remains the logical question: could the wK also be on h5 and we have 20 moves?? Probably not but…

EDIT: Of course not, even your cook at (178) works…

Of course not, it ist cooked in 19. You can check it by yourself.

Maybe Rc1 instead Sa1, is it ser r=24?

Maybe with Ra2 can ser r=28 (1.Ra1...), or more risk with Rb4 ser r=29?

It looks like two promotions will not work. Perhaps this one is correct:

(= 9+16 )

ser-r=19 (C?)
 
   
(Read Only)pid=23148
(360) Posted by Miodrag Mladenović [Saturday, Apr 23, 2022 05:35]

(A)
(= 10+16 )

ser-r=25 (C?)

or

(B) if wPa6 helps to prevent cook
(= 11+16 )

ser-r=25 (C?)

If this one is incorrect perhaps moving wRa1 => b1 gives a correct ser-r#24. The white rook on a1 perhaps can come to b2 from a2 square. I am running a Popeye trying to prove that ser-a=>b25 is correct but it takes forever and I am not sure if I'll be able to complete this test because I do not have desktop for testing and for laptop it's not recommended to run it 24+ hours without turning off.
