Der letzte Zug kann unter der Längstzügerbedingung nur Be7-e5 gewesen sein. Also ist der En-passant-Schlüssel erlaubt. Erstaunlicherweise gelingt der En-passant-Nachweis in Miniaturfassung.
Henrik Juel: C+ Popeye 4.61 after analysis
Last move obviously was not made by Ga6
neither by Kf1 from e1, e2, f2, because K-f1 would not be a longest move
neither by Pe5 from d6, e6, f6, by a similar reason
So last move was e7-e5, and White may capture ep (2021-05-02)

Henrik Juel: The longest among the possible last moves is f7-f5, so 1.exf6ep d5 2.f7 g5 3.f8Q!?, but 3... Kh7!, so something is wrong. (2003-11-11)
HBae: Habe korrigiert. Es fehlte der wKa1 und die wDb2. (2019-10-11)
Henrik Juel: C+ by Popeye 4.61 (assuming that the condition was in effect also in last move)
Pd7 and Pg4 can be removed without affecting correctness or symmetry (2019-10-11)
Bernd Schwarzkopf: Pd7 and Pg4 are necessary. Without them last move could have been: 1.Pg6xXf5. (2021-02-06)
Mario Richter: Interestingly, the Editors of 'TfS' too thought that Pd7 and Pg4 can be omitted (s. 'TfS' 06/1938, p.124: "Går det inte lika bra utan bönderna på d7 och g4? (BL). Jo, det går visst lika bra. Men förf. har väl haft någon mening med dem också (Red.)."

I think, pawn d7 serves to prevent retractions like R: 1.Pg6xXf5, but pawn d4 is only there to complete the symmetry (i.e. Pd7 is necessary, Pg4 is not). (2021-02-06)
A.Buchanan: Doesn’t bPg4 stop 2.Dg2 as a dual? (2021-02-07)

zeigt "L-Stern, kombiniert mit AUW, herrlich anzusehen!" (MS) - RobS: "Eine wAUW in Minimalform mit einem L-Kreuz durch Zugzwang mit gleichen Matts." "So lässt man sich die AUW gern gefallen." (PGr) WiN: "Hat mir persönlich gefallen, allerdings ist in 'Das Matt des weißen Königs' von Chlubna nachzulesen, daß es AUW mit Längstzügerbedingung im s# wie Sand am Meer gibt (ein Beispiel zur weißen AUW wird auch angeführt)." Haben die auch noch einen L-Stern?
Teppo Mänttä: wAUW + sL-Stern in Minimalform. Erstdarstellung. (2021-04-27)

(E. Backe) begeisterte das Publikum - HHS: "Eine Fülle von Feinersonnenem... und auch die Suche, warum anderes Mehrversprechendes nicht geht, und was die Chinesen auf a6 und b4 sollen, macht zusätzlichen Spaß." "Phantastisch" (AGr) 1.PAd7! Sb3 2.Lh4 Nd4#, 1.- Sc4 2.PAd3 Dd5#, 1.- Sc6 2.d3 Tc5#, 1.- Sb7 2.Ng2 Lc6# - HMo: "Und wo der sS auch hingeht, stoppt er die Mattfigur!" "Nachdem der sS jeweils den Maximalweg der potentiellen Mattfiguren eingeschränkt hat, antwortet W mit doppelzweckigen Zweitzügen; nicht nur entfesseln sie die Mattsteine, sondern schalten auch noch andere Verteidiger bzw. sich selbst aus!" (MS) "Von den fünf sFiguren sind vier gefesselt, die nach den Springerhalbradzügen von W entfesselt werden und matt setzten, wobei W zweimal seinen Nachtreiter verstellen muß." (RobS) Kritik kam nur vom Autor selber: "I regret the use of chinese pieces in the problem, but it was the only way I was able to control the black officers." Als Autor ärgert man sich häufig über die Sachen, die nicht zur vollen Zufriedenheit gelungen sind - meist Sachen, die der Löser dann gar nicht mitbekommt... 15L/5P/3.3/II-III

(G. Koder). "Ein Längstzüger mit einer für seine Sparte hohen Qualität. Das Thema triumphiert über die sonst oft üblichen formalen Spielereien."

"Ein kleines Kreuzschachfeuerwerk, das mir zunächst trotz Längstzügerbedingung einige Mühe bereitete." (HJä) "Als Schach-Parade kann eben auch ein B- oder S-Zug der längste sein. Die Analogie der beiden Spiele ist nicht sklavisch, aber umso interessanter." (PGr) "W schlägt jeweils eine sFigur, provoziert Schach, und die Batterien erzeugen Kreuzschachs." (RobS) 11L/5P

Gefällt gut! KHS: Zum Lösen reizende Stellung, aber wegen der neutralen Berolinabauern ungewöhnlich und deshalb sauschwer zu lösen. AB: Forderungs- und Umwandlungswechsel in einer reizenden Miniatur; allerdings hätte ich den wK nach f3 versetzt, um den unthematischen sB ersatzlos streichen zu können. Die einzige Änderung in der Lösung wäre in b) 2.Ke2. [Dann wäre freilich auch die symmetrische Stellung weg gewesen (GES)].

Teppo Mänttä: This FIRST presentation of white AUW + black Rook's cross in minimal form (without promoted force) was published in Springaren nr. 62, page 135, September 1995. "7798v Springaren 1994" is referring to some earlier attempts by Nils A. Bakke: 1) one with two white Pawns (= not a minimal) and 2) another one with two black Queens (= using promoted force). (2021-05-08)
Teppo Mänttä: reprint: nr. 828 Minimalkunst im Schach (Aachen 2006). The book gives also 1994 as the publication year, which is misleading and then there is a silly misprint: wKa1 instead of wKh1. (2021-05-08)

What did Black play last, and why not b7-b5?
a) Can only be Kxe8 to escape check. Thus castling rights are definitely lost.
b) Also the possibility of g7-g5, so 000 rights can remain. This breaks the earlier solution but allows another solution in which AP retro-justifies ep with 000, which is also necessary for the mate. The solution beginning 1.Ld6 does not work any more, because under RS convention, castling is legal and so must be played.
FYI: here are two non-unique games validated by Jacobi v0.7.5 to prove the legality of the diagram positions. 000 rights remain in b, while in a are retained until the penultimate move.

Henrik Juel: a) is C+ Popeye 4.61, except for the promotion mate dual; no AP here
In b) Popeye with 'opt enp g6' gives the intended solution; here the castling is needed to rule out the possibility of Kf7xDe8 as last move
But how do we know that last move was not f6xg5 or h6xg5? (2022-06-02)
A.Buchanan: Hi Henrik thanks for examining this.
In a), the last move must have been Kxe8 to deal with checking piece. Otherwise black would have played e.g. b7-b5. If you forbid castling in Popeye you will see a completely different solution.
In b) hxg5 or fxg5 is too short to compete with b7-b5. (2022-06-02)
Henrik Juel: Yes, I missed b7-b5
Popeye with 'opt noc a8' gives this solution for a) 1.Ld6 Td8 2.fxg6 Txd5 3.g7 Th5 4.g8=D#
Very nice, with analysis in both parts (2022-06-02)
