Longest Win for King + 2 pawns vs. King + 2 pawns

Post by GothicChessInventor »

Does anyone know which position in the K + 2P vs. K + 2P database is the mate in 141 moves?

I am very curious.

Thanks!

I suppose it transpose in a KQP vs KQP ending

Yes but I'm wondering how "reognizeable" that is from the parent 6-piece position. It is most likely a position where white to move wins but black to move draws, so white might win by a single tempo.

Also I thought the longest KQP vs. KQP ending had a max win of about 120 moves, so there is some additional KPP vs. KPP struggling possible.

Thanks!

Interesting that there are no "mate in 11" longest wins!
