[Retros] Pawn to-the-8th-rank mates

[andrew buchanan]

Hi Hiro,

That's great: thank you.

One nit: the last one on your list here, gxfQ PG in 4.5. Didn't Noam
Elkies already do that task in 2002 with:

rnbk1Qnr/ppqpp2p/2p2p2/8/8/8/PPPPP1PP/RNBQKBNR
1.f4 c6 2.f5 Qc7 3.f6 Kd8 4.fxg7 f6 5.gxf8Q#

Admittedly, this one also works with R, but it's still an answer to the
Q task, isn't it?

Cheers,
Andrew.
