Shortest proof game in 59 moves!


Seasonal greetings to all!

I’m proud to inform you that Dmitry Pronkin, Andrey Frolkin, Werner Keym, and Boris Tummes achieved a new length record for orthodox unique proof games, beating the old one by 1.5 moves (now 59 moves after 57.5 so far). Congratulations to the authors!

It was published today in my blog (see https://www.thbrand.de/2021/12/25/59-zuege/) -- have fun!

Best wishes, Thomas

Alas, the record (see https://www.thbrand.de/2021/12/25/59-zuege/) has ben cooked by Mikhail Kozulya:

That was most certainly the quickest cook ever found.

Perhaps these great minds could come together to try and make the longest non-unique-proof game. The late Harry Goldsteen set the bar at a mind-boggling 185 a few years ago on Krabbe's website.

Dear all,

The „Fab Four“ just published TWO correction-tries: one in 59 moves, one (a little bit „safer“?) in 58.5 movers.

See https://www.thbrand.de/2022/01/30/retro-der-woche-052022/

Good luck for the authors and best wishes

Thomas
