Hi Olli,

Congrats on the idea. And yes as you suspected, your proof can be done
more quickly - with the old *horizontal* mirror trick saving another
ply.

rnb1kbnr/pppp1pp1/8/3N1P2/8/8/PPPPP3/R1BQKq1q
PG in 8.0, 2 solutions,
but if either of the Black queens is replaced by a rook, then there is
only one solution.

Regards,
Andrew.
