I can't get it shorter than 19.0 moves (in many ways). I don't get the idea, I suppose... will try again tomorrow.

Well played, David. I like sleeping in on weekends too much to give it up, though. 😀

Maybe one day you will brake the world record (58 moves) or the world record when the PG need not be unique (183 moves, I think)😀

Any hints on this one? I can't seem to get the Knight to d5 properly, neither can I find the correct way of getting rid of pawns b2 and a7. I guess that's the whole pointe of this PG, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
