[Diagram]

Black always passes.

If the problem implied that the solution should contain no passes, then there're several different 12-move solutions, and it seems that no solution can be shorter than 12 moves (since black has to spend 6 moves to build a B2Bomber that White captures with the final move.


More than 12 - Remmber w can't pass while he's building up the bomber! Reuven

Is suicide allowed?

[Diagram]

moves 1-6

[Diagram]

moves 7-13

B13 is "suicide"


ferdi: No suicide, no passes, please :-) I added it to the problem page, too.
