Computer: Athlon AMD XP (1700+) 1466 MHz,

Notation: Fide (KDTLSP)
Examples of accelerating options:
Q2 Quick mode -
each white move is a check or 2#-threat
w++ Each white move is check
f2
Black King has max 2 flight squares
x3 Black
has max 3 movable men after each white move
y5 Black
has max 5 moves after each white move
y5/z2 As y5, but black has two
times any number of moves (z-option added in 2002 versions)
yy5 Black has max
5 moves from black's second move up
y0 Black
king only can move
K= King participates
in mating/stalemating
m
Moving men and possible promotions for one or more moves given (* = any)
wP-L White promotes to Bishop only
wC-T White cannot capture a black rook
Sq-e4 Mating must happen on the square
e4
Sq-E Mating must happen on
board's any edge square
v15 Variation
search depth up to 15 plies only
For long direct mates options w++/Q/f are generally the best,
for long selfmates options x/y/z/f.

2. Selfmates
2.1
Example of the new z-option 2002.
z-option works with y-option only and allows more black moves.
Options:
y1 (black has one move only after each white move).
z2 (allows black to move two times any number of moves).

2.2
Example of the z-option. This problem is cooked in
29 moves!
Options:
wC- (white cannot capture), K= (black King participates
in mating), Sq-E (edge-mate),
y1/z41 (black has one move only after each white move. However, z41 allows
to
exceed
this 4 times by one move. Thus black has 4 times max two moves).
