Huge task! Pity zeroposition is necessary.

S.N.Ravishankar points out that in position (a) after 1.a8Q 2.Kc7 there is dual 2.Kc5,Ka5 & also the threat 2.Qb8+. But I think can be ignored in a task of this magnititude.

Well, I think that the zeroposition and duals can be avoided if we combine both problems - by Titarenko and Agapov. In that way we have a good economy - 2 solutions with 4 pieces and two with 5 (included wS) with a perfect play:

white: Kc4, Ra7, Pb7
black: Kc6
b)Ra7-e8, c)+Sb5, d)+Se4

a) 1.b8R! (2.Kd4 Kd6 3.Rb6#)
1...Kd6 2.Re8 Kc6 3.Re6#
b) 1.b8Q! Kd7 2.Qc8+ Kd6 3.Re6#
c) 1.b8S+! Kb6 2.Sd7+ Kc6 3.Rc7#
d) 1.b8B! Kb6 2.Sc5 Kc6 3.Ra6#

But also is possible all solutions to be with only 4 pieces - AUW on the same square with only 4 pieces and black Minimal - a task for economy:

white: Kb4, Re7, Pa7
black: Kb6
b)Re7-d8 c)Re7-c7

a) 1.a8B Ka6 2.Kc5 Ka5 3.Ra7#
1.a8R Kc6 2.Rd8 Kb6 3.Rd6#
b) 1.a8Q Kc7 2.Qb8+ Kc6 3.Rd6#
c) 1.a8S+ Ka6 2.Kc4(5) Ka5 3.Ra7#

I am not sure which of the two versions is better - the first is with perfect twins and play, but the second is record for economy...
Or both can be published as different problems?

Dear Seetharaman and Diyan!

1) Russian proverb says: "Trust but verify"
The program Olive has shown a solution in the first twin in the following recording (short notation): 1.a8Q! threat: 2.Qb8 + Kc6 3.Rd6 #, 2 ... Ka6 3.Rd6#. I.e. the program has "considered" that 1...Kc7 - does not protect against the threat and it did not consider this move as a defense. I believed it, but ... I have not checked it! Of course, these duals 2.Ka5/Kc5 - look very unpleasant. To improve the purity of the solution, we can adjust the solution recording in the first twin:
a) Pb5>a6
1.a8Q a5+ 2.Q:a5+ Kc6 3.Qb5/Qc7# (the rest - without changes)
Let this adjustment will be an alternative for the tourney judge (#3).

2) This idea has bee shown for 4 pieces: I.Agapov, Seven chess notes, in 2016 (November) - yacpdb/416963. But that task can not be considered as a "pure" because the last solution has organic dual on the 2nd move (1.a8S+ Ka6 2.Kc4/Kc5). That is why I have decided to adapt this scheme for 5 pieces.

3) I propose another (new) version of this task - №793.1:

FEN: 8/P2K4/1k2p3/4R3/8/8/8/8
White: Kd7, Re5, Pa7 (3)
Black: Kb6, Pe6 (2) #3
b) Kd7-b8 c) +Pe6-c6 d) +Kb8-c8

a) 1.a8R! Kb7 2.Raa5 Kb6 3.Reb5#
b) 1.a8B! Ka6 2.Kc7 Ka7 3.Ra5#
c) 1.a8Q! c5 2.Qa4 c5 3.Qb5#
d) 1.a8S+! Ka6 2.Rc5! Ka7 3.Ra5#
No duals + usual twins (no zero) = quite a Christmas story ...

-
Happy New Year 2017!
Igor Agapov
