Let's define the task in a clear way,

Constraint:
PG diagram showing a mate position where the mateing side has its 8 officers
at homesquare and the remaining pawns at homesquare too. Standard material

Defining,
a: homebase mateing side missing pawns
b: PG single moves
c: other side missing pieces

The task asks for economy so a, b and c have to be minimyzed but in order, say
minmimum a, after that b and finally c. A PG is evaluated as (a, b, c). There are
13 different record cases based on the checking piece and the checking line,

R(h) - mate by rook on (h) row
R(a) - mate by rook on (a) row
B(c)ld - mate by c1/c8 bishop on its homesquare long diagonal
B(c)sd - mate by c1/c8 bishop on its homesquare short diagonal
B(f)ld - mate by f1/f8 bishop on its homesquare long diagonal
B(f)sd - mate by f1/f8 bishop on its homesquare short diagonal
Qld - mate by queen on its homesquare long diagonal
Qsd - mate by queen on its homesquare short diagonal
Q(d) - mate by queen on (d) row.
N(b)K(a) - mate by knight from its b1/b8 homesquare and oposite king on a3/a6
nNb)Kc) - mate by knight from its b1/b8 homesquare and oposite king on c3/c6
N(g)K(f) - mate by knight from its g1/g8 homesquare and oposite king on f3/f6
N(g)K(h)- mate by knight from its g1/g8 homesquare and oposite king on h3/h6

With the new example here included the present status is,

qbld - (2, 24, 1)
r(h) -(2, 22, 2)
r(a) -(2, 28, 1)

Some other one? Some more economicall?
