Mar 22, 2021 at 11:37 comment added justhalf Ah, sure then. Thanks Albert and loopy! =) You did a great job too with your 30 points answer :)
Mar 22, 2021 at 11:36 comment added loopy walt No, no, it's fine. Keep it. You did enough ground work to fully deserve it. I'm happy with the checkmark :-)
Mar 22, 2021 at 5:06 comment added justhalf Eh, but you put the bounty asking for 30 score, and loopywalt got 30 right? I think it would be fitting for loopywalt to get the bounty. The idea is quite different even though ideas were taken from my answer (and your example).
Mar 22, 2021 at 4:58 comment added Albert.Lang Oops, didn't think of that. No, you keep the bounty. I would have given it to you anyway had I known that it can't be split. Sorry for the confusion, @loopywalt.
Mar 22, 2021 at 2:47 comment added justhalf Sure, thanks for the bounty! So you want me to create a 50 rep bounty for loopywalt? I think the minimum for a question for which one has an answer is 100 though. I can give 100 to loopywalt too, no problem, hehe
Mar 21, 2021 at 21:58 history bounty ended Albert.Lang
Mar 21, 2021 at 21:57 comment added Albert.Lang I would like to split the bounty between you and @loopywalt. So I'll award it to you and it would be cool if you could make a new smaller bounty and award it to loopy.
Mar 20, 2021 at 9:42 comment added Arnaud Mortier That's right, my bad! Good job!
Mar 20, 2021 at 9:39 comment added justhalf Yep, in this case invalidating the retrograde analysis invalidates the mate in one since the mate in one relies on it, and doesn't create avenue for another mate in one, which I why I also explored some alternatives mates and why they don't work.
Mar 19, 2021 at 18:44 comment added Arnaud Mortier I think that you misread the definition of accessories (or maybe I did): I think that removing the piece should invalidate the existence of a mate in one, that's all. Not invalidate the retrograde analysis.

Add proof game
Mar 13, 2021 at 8:16 comment added justhalf The only missing part for 30 score solution is how to cover the b and f file white pawns with black pieces so the pawn capture argument doesn't need to be used, and so we can add back the black pawn on d-file.
